Default 5-spice plus one

Oh man. I just had the BEST pork chop ever.

I mixed about a heaping teaspoon of 5-spice with a couple of aggressive
dashes of Penzey's ground chipotle powder, then sprinkled it and some
salt on a boneless pork loin chop that I'd dried and oiled with a
little evoo. Tossed it on the grill (550-600F) for 3 minutes a side.
Served with some rice that I'd steamed with a pinch of saffron and a
split clove of garlic.

Total heaven. Good spice in the front; saltiness amplified by grill
marks; sweetness from the anise; depth from the rest; grilled perfectly
juicy.
