Submitted by saracho

"This is a recipe I threw together from leftovers. The measurements are all estimates. Five Spice is a strong and distinct flavor so please be mindful. My husband and mother-in-law absolutely LOVED this and pleaded with me to write it down (as much as I can remember). I don't know that I will ever be able to recreate it. I'm very interested in your reviews and input!"
