Yup, that's what the Chinese are saying when they say it's dry. You gotta have seasoning. That 5 spice I was talking about, that's actually different from place to place. Each one representing the flavors that the chef wanted. It's actually the same in India. Curry powder is not a real thing. Each area and household has their own spice mix.
For me personally, while I agree with you that you should make your own, I tend to just use Cajun seasoning. Dunno, it's cheap and readily available. But you keep doing you. Personal spice blends is absolutely the way to go.
There's nothing wrong with Cajun seasoning! I used to use either Tony's or Cavender's on stuff for years because I had a busy lifestyle, didn't always have the give a shit to mix my own spices, and early on I didn't really have the knowledge to know what was good yet. I'm just in a place where it makes sense for me and I'm very happy with it.
By the way, if you're looking for something pretty good that isn't Cajun seasoning, check out Kinder "The Blend". It's a legit SPG.
Lol, yes I use Tony's. I will definitely try out the Kinder "The Blend" Since you seem to have a similar taste profile to me. Thanks!
