Another Five Spice Marinade & Dipping Sauce

Different from previously posted version on Zaar. I love Five Spice Powder and am always searching for new ways to use it in recipes. This version was oringally from a magazine clipping, although I am not sure which one. Marinade is enough to use for 1 pound of meat. (Find sesame oil and Five Spice powder in Asian markets; chili oil is oil flavored with hot chili peppers)

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 4
• Yields: 1 cup

Ingredients

• 2⁄3 cup green onion, minced
• 1⁄4 cup soy sauce
• 1⁄4 cup dry sherry (NOT cooking sherry)
• 2  tablespoons  chili oil
• 2  teaspoons  sesame oil
• 2  teaspoons five-spice powder

Directions

1. Whisk together ingredients and chill until ready to use.
2. To USE: Divide mixture in half and use one portion to marinade meat at least 1 hour (chicken, beef, or pork); after meat has marinated, drain and discard and then cook meat according to your preferred method. Boil remaining portion of marinade until reduced slightly and use to brush on meat while cooking or as a dip for cooked meat.
