We prepared this Five Spice (Palo Powder) pork soup with egg.  There is a great recipe on the package, and we prepared it at home. Happy to share.

The instant spice powder from Lobo works perfectly.

NEW Recipe: Lobo Satay

Our best-selling Lobo product has been the satay, and we've been selling this for 20 years.  Often it's hard to keep in stock but we've got plenty now.  For just a few bucks you can make a really sophisticated satay using Lobo mix. Checkout how we made it here.
