Schezwan Sauce

Schezwan sauce is a spicy and flavourful sauce that originates from the Sichuan province in China. It is made with a combination of chilli peppers, garlic, ginger, and Sichuan peppercorns, along with other optional ingredients such as soy sauce and vinegar. The sauce can range in spiciness from mild to extremely hot, depending on the amount of chilli peppers used.

The sauce is known for its intense spicy and numbing flavour, which is achieved by the use of chilli peppers and Sichuan peppercorns. The sauce is commonly used in Chinese-Indian cuisine, particularly in dishes like Schezwan Fried Rice, Schezwan Noodles, or as a dipping sauce for appetisers.

Schezwan sauce can be made at home with simple ingredients and adjusted to taste by adding more or less of the spicy and savoury ingredients. It can be used as a marinade for meat, a seasoning for stir-fried vegetables, or as a condiment for snacks and appetisers. The sauce is a popular and flavourful addition to many dishes and is commonly found in Chinese restaurants around the world.
