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.
