Sichuan Peppercorn

Sichuan Peppercorns are prized for their unique citrusy aroma and distinctive tingling, numbing sensation. They are a staple of Sichuan cuisine and add depth to stir-fries, meats, sauces, and spice blends.

Store Sichuan peppercorns in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Grind or crush only as needed to preserve their flavour and aroma.

• Lightly toast the peppercorns in a dry pan to enhance their aroma.

• Grind them fresh or use whole in stir-fries, broths, and marinades.

• Add sparingly, as their unique numbing effect can become quite intense.
