Recipe

Cooking tips

  • If you add the Sichuan pepper when the oil is too hot, the aroma won't develop properly, so make sure to cool the oil for about 5 minutes first.
  • You must completely evaporate the moisture from the vegetables so that the flavors properly infuse into the oil.
  • You can use only the clear oil, or use the sediment like a dadegi (spice paste) in stews or braises.

Recommended for

  • People who enjoy eating mala dishes.
  • Anyone who wants to make a base sauce for Chinese dishes at home.
