Sichuan Pepper Whole 50g
Citrusy, Aromatic and Famously Tingling — the Essential Spice Behind Má-Là
Sichuan Pepper isn't ordinary pepper.
And it isn't chilli.
SpicenEasy Sichuan Pepper Whole 50g consists of intensely aromatic dried berry husks with a distinctive citrusy, floral and slightly woody flavour — followed by the unusual tingling, buzzing sensation for which Sichuan cuisine is famous.
That sensation is known as má.
Combined with chilli heat — là — it creates the classic má-là flavour profile found in dishes such as Mapo Tofu, Sichuan hot pot, Dan Dan Noodles and Kung Pao-style dishes.
Toast it gently, grind it coarsely and use it sparingly.
There really isn't another spice that does the same job.
