    I always have Sichuan in my pantry. _It's a MUST in every Sichuan recipe._
    I have a dedicated pepper mill for it. I'll roast enough to fill the pepper mill and it's always there when needed. *You DON'T want any large pieces in your mouth, so a fine grind is best.*

    Tip I learned from a lady from Sichuan: pour hot oil over freshly grounded Sichuan peppercorns to preserve the numbing sensation for 6 months! I tried it and it works!!
    Because realistically, the numbing sensation dissipates after 2 months or less... 😬

I've followed her for years and love , in a way, of being part of her journey. I've followed many of her recipes and techniques and her instructions help you feel so comfortable with what you're doing. Never feeling intimidated. She is a super star. So is her team. Such good editing and camera angles. Such a class act all the way around.

    I have a Sichuan pepper tree in my garden. Therefore I can make good use of home grown Sichuan pepper. The freshly harvested green corns are special. I am more fond of the red ones though. I use Sichuan pepper in many ways and always keep my own small fresh batch of pepper powder and 5 spice powder in my pantry.

    I live in Sacramento, CA, a very culturally diverse city, with large South and East Asian populations, so we are blessed with a plethora of Asian martkets--in fact, my neighborhood is adjacent to the Little Saigon neighborhood, and the fireworks for Tet were wild Saturday night!😁 That reminds me: Gung Hay Fat Choy to you and your family and friends! 🎊🧧🥮🎋🧨🎆 I have scoured the spice aisles of several, and was getting frustrated because nobody had Sichuan peppercorn, so I finally asked a manager who told me they can't sell them due to "the government ban", and inferred that the only way to get "the real stuff" is "if you know someone in Chinatown in SF who, knows someone" (i.e. buy contraband from a black market "spice dealer"). Apart from driving 90 miles
    over to The City and standing on the corner of Grant & Columbus Streets with a sign around my neck saying "GOT SPICE?", how on earth does one get hooked up with oneof these "dealers"???😂 My quick research on the web reveals that the USDA ended the ban in 2008, so why does a supermarket manager not know this and stock them in his store?🤔 Surely, I'm not the only one here seeking them. I have ordered some online, but now I have to wait for them to arrive! 😕

    @loati94 Před rokem +6

    The first time I used sichuan peppercorn was the first time I did mapo tofu. I used almost the same amount as the recipe required and let me tell you, it was intense. The flavour was too perfumy and at times my tongue and lips felt exactly like when you sit on your leg and then you start to recuperate form numbness.
    Definitely start little by little to get used to that feeling.

    • @loati94
      @loati94 Před rokem +1

      ​@gsn1a2a3b my local restaurants dont even have mapo tofu in their menu so I had to make it myself. Besides the intense tingling that I had never experienced it was quite yummy so I imagine that an authentic one made by someone who actually knows how to cook must be incredible

    I love this channel. Its the best in teaching traditional chinese cooking. I bought some brown looking scichun pepper corn from a viet store. I was excited because the way it has been explained here on youtube all the time is that its traits just pops at you. I didn't feel this at all. I guess I got the crappy kind.

  • @HyperactiveNeuron
    @HyperactiveNeuron Před 11 měsĂ­ci +2

    When i first looked for Sichuan peppercorns, I had a difficult time finding them because I wasn't positive what i was looking for. All of the labels were in Chinese or the translated English labeled it as prickly ash and i didn't know what that was LOL! I ended up buying Sichuan peppercorn infused oil which is awesome but a very powerful ingredient. The first time i used it, I treated it as if it was just cooking oil and wow that was bad 😂 Now I keep both red and green peppercorns and use the oil very, very sparingly.
    I like keeping a pepper grinder full of Sichuan peppercorns and I'll just grind some over whatever I'm fixing. It adds that numbing, citrus flavor to anything. It's great on fish and shrimp.

  • @proverbs2522
    @proverbs2522 Před rokem

  • @Monsteroflopogis
    @Monsteroflopogis Před rokem +2

    this reminds me of the best Chinese restaurant I've ever been to. In Seattle there was an awesome Szechuan place that used those little pepper corns whole, it took me forever to learn what they were, it was also the first time I ever saw lotus root. That Chicken dry hot pot that they made was unreal. I had to have gone there 2 or 3 times a week just for that same dish for a little over a year. Broke my heart when they closed :( I'd pay serious money to have it again

    The first time I had it it changed the taste of the dish to salty while my friend tasted the same dish, felt that it was spicy instead of salty. So I think it might be different for each person. Afterwards, I fell in love with this spice. Love to eat the peppercorn itself when it is being served in dish. Love mala (dry fried) and mala soup too for hotpot.

  • @tingel_
    @tingel_ Před rokem

    Thank you for this information! I could have used that last week when I decided to use sichuan peppercorns for the first time in my fried rice. It smelled so delicious but when I tasted it my whole tongue went numb. 😅 I was actually scared that I had an allergic reaction not knowing that this is normal! Now I know how to use it better and I will give it another try! The smell was so good! 😁

  • @666aron
    @666aron Před rokem

    Thank you for this extensive guide. It was really informative.
    I had the fortune of travelling to Shanghai and Beijing a few years back and there I first had Hong You Chao Shou. My throat was numb for a minute, and from that moment I fell in love with the peppercorn. I still could not achieve that level of numbness in my recipes, but I won't give up. Now, when I smell that sichuan peppercorn in the air, I must detect the source and order some food.
    Also, I've found out the hard way that low-quality pepper corns are dangerous. The seeds will burst in oil, and the hot oil may end up on your face, eye, etc.

    I have been using them in other recipes, like veg and beef soup, spaghetti, even steamed veg. I like to experiment with food. I didn't like them in scrambled eggs or tuna salad, but the rest were pretty good. There are other recipes I have used them in, and it has mostly been good.
