RED SZECHUAN PEPPER USES AND RECIPE
To bring out the best in Szechuan Pepper, lightly toast 1 tsp in a dry pan until fragrant, then grind or crush.
For a quick and authentic stir-fry, heat oil with garlic, ginger, and toasted Szechuan Pepper, then add sliced beef or tofu and vegetables. Finish with soy sauce and a dash of vinegar. You can also infuse oil with Szechuan Pepper for drizzling over dumplings or noodles. Its mouth-tingling effect pairs well with chilli, creating the famous “mala” flavour of Szechuan cuisine.
