A Guide to Sichuan Pepper: The Unique Spice That Will Add Flavor to Your Life Sichuan peppercorn is the spice that will make your life brighter.

It’s not just a seasoning on a dish, but an entire way of living. The taste of this spicy pepper can be found in many different dishes and cuisines around the world and it has been used for hundreds of years to add flavor to recipes. But what exactly is Sichuan peppercorn? Where does it come from? How do you use it in cooking? All these questions are answered here.

What exactly is Sichuan peppercorn?

It's a spice originating in the Sichuan province of China. It has a citrus and floral aroma, with a lemony flavor.

It's not just a seasoning on dishes but an entire way of living-flavor is found to be added from it around the world for over a hundred years. It's considered to be used as an addition to recipes hence satisfying many global taste buds' demand for spice; however, despite its geographical origins outside Asia and Latin America, there are few chefs who prefer this variety because it does not fuse with other ingredients well during cooking preparations. The good news is that after adding this spice into your meal you can still enjoy some of your favorite recipes in the comfort of your own home too instead of sticking with those that strictly use Sichuan peppercorn as an ingredient.

Where does it come from?

Sichuan peppercorn is native to southwestern China and has been used in Chinese cuisine for centuries. The spice gets its name from the Sichuan province, where it is most commonly grown. The plant that the peppercorns come from is actually related to citrus trees and produces small, reddish-brown berries. When these berries are dried and ground, they become the Sichuan peppercorns that we know and love.

So now that you know a little bit more about this amazing spice, how can you use it in your cooking? One of the best ways to enjoy Sichuan peppercorn is by making a simple stir-fry.

How do you use it in cooking?

Sichuan pepper is used as a spice in various dishes around the world. It can be added to main courses, salads, and even desserts for a unique flavor that will add excitement to your palate. Sichuan pepper has a slightly lemony taste with a numbing quality that makes it unique and unforgettable. When used in cooking, it is typically ground into a powder or added whole to dishes.

Start by heating up some oil in a pan and then add in your favorite vegetables. Once the veggies are cooked to your liking, toss in a few Sichuan peppercorns and give everything a good stir. The heat from the pan will release the spice’s unique flavor and aroma, infusing it into the dish. If you want an extra kick, you can also add in some chili peppers.

This is just one way to use Sichuan peppercorn, but there are endless possibilities. So don’t be afraid to experiment with this unique spice and add it to your favorite dishes. You might be surprised at how much it enhances the flavor. Trust us, once you try it, you’ll be hooked!

Just confirmed the first @eatingthroughto #UltimateEats #Sichuan menu + of course this Sichuan classic made the cut. #Mapotofu #pockmarkedtofu is a play of contrasts between soft, almost silky tofu, + minced meat stir-fried in one of Sichuan cuisines primary ingredients, #doubanjiang aka spicy fermented bean paste, + finished with toasted ground #SichuanPeppercorns. Sichuan cuisine loves playing with contrasting tastes + textures + this signature dish is a prime example. Often found on Chinese restaurant menus everywhere but rarely done quite as authentically, with a rich red oil + numbing kick 🔥🔥🔥 Visit torontocommon.com for tickets & info! #Toeats #toronto #torontoeats #torontotaste #torontolife #torontofood #torontofun #torontocommon #torontosichuan #torontospice (at 816•Cuisine 川粤中国) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7UZJbUB9mw/?igshid=19hhi3cibinvo

So I got some requests here and there on how to make the #beefnoodlesoup since I posted mine few days ago. So I decided to share my #recipe here 😊 . . Ingredients, 1. #Beefshank (preferably more #tendon). 2. #Oxtail (important: shave off all the excessive fat before cooking). 3. #Tomato (I like mixture of fresh tomato and canned ones, and I take out all the skins) . 4. Few slices of ginger. 5. One #onion, chopped. 6. #Staranise, #sichuanpeppercorn, #blackpepper, #whitepepper, #bayleaves, #cinnamon, #garlic & #clove. 7. #SoySauce, #oystersauce, #redwine & #blackvinegar. 8. Chili sauce, I used 5-7 kinds each time such as black bean chili, garlic chili pretty much anything/ flavors you like would be good. 9. Sugar. . How to, Start w/ a hot pot then put in sesame oil and ginger slices till the ginger turned almost black w/ awesome fragrant. . Put in the shank and tail then put in the chili sauce/ paste you like to use when the meat starting to show some charred markings. . Once meat and tail are almost cooked, time to put in the tomatoes and add the soy sauce, oyster sauce and vinegar. . You can add some water after the wine cuz you’d know how much water you need to cover all the ingredients. . Slow simmer for 3-4 hours the shut off the stove. . Let it sit over night(This is the most important process that will ensure the meat is fully soaked in the soup for flavors and meat texture will become tender and more buttery). . #Garnish, chopped #cilantro #scallion & #greedgarlic are my fav! . There you go, hope this is easy enough for you to do it from home 🐮 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd3xLQlPig2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We've had a lot of people ask if our 2nd Sichuan Play event @thehouseofcommon is a Valentine's Day event. It happens to be on Valentine's Day but it's not specifically for or anti-Valentine's Day. Toronto Common loves celebrating the every day and all cultures so we do not centre events around any holidays, but a hot and spicy Valentine's Day doesn't sound so bad? 🤔 ... Come out if you'd love to try a mix of Sichuan and French cuisine including a Black Bird Benedict, Sichuan Chaud Froid, Salivating Chicken Roulade, Black Vinegar Burrata, and Silken Road Tofu Flan. Visit torontocommon.com for full menu details and ticket info! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Sichuan #sichuanpeppercorn #mala #sichuancuisine #chinesecuisine #torontocommonplay #playwithfood #experiment #fusion #foodfusion #toronto #torontocommon #torontofun #torontofood #torontotaste #tastetoronto #torontodrink #torontoeats #funthingstodointoronto #experiencesomethingnew (at The House of Common)
