Followed the recipe as is and it turned out sooo good. So easy to make, just how I like it. Will definitely be making it again.

Heard star anise has very strong distinct flavor. When recipe says 5 pieces of star anise, do they mean 5 whole star anise? Each star anise seed has 5+ seeds (it can range 5-11 seeds). Other sources says "can substitute can use common anise or Chinese five-spice powder. For each star anise called for in the recipe, use 3/4 teaspoon crushed anise seeds or 1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder. Fennel seeds can also be used but won't have as strong of a licorice taste. If a liquid will work in the recipe, 1 tablespoon of anisette, Pernod, or Sambuca can be substituted for each star anise, or 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon anise extract."

Super yummy and easy to make. Perfect for cold winter weather! Recommend seasoning the ribs with a little garlic salt before cooking. Also added a small scoop of brown sugar to the pot of soup after everything was cooked and liked how it added another layer of flavor. This will definitely be a repeat/go-to recipe!!!
