This is another of the Spicymonkey products that gets our monkeys over-excited. One of their favourite spices is the main ingredient. Szechuan peppercorns are indigenous to Szechuan province in China. They are fiery and have a unique, slightly citrus flavour. With other Spicymonkey favourites such as sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger and sambal, this is nothing like the Szechuan recipes you will get from most western takeaways. It is well loved at Spicymonkey Towers and can be rather difficult to prize away from the monkeys who produce it.
This is one of the few Spicymonkey products which is a sauce rather than a paste or powder. Therefore, to make your own spicy Szechuan meal, just fry some meat, fish or vegetables for a few minutes, add the required amount of Szechuan sauce along with some chopped spring onions. Stir-fry until heated through and serve with rice or noodles. For those who would like to try the awesome, unique taste of Szechuan cuisine without the fire, adding a little passata can dilute the sauce and therefore the heat also.
Purchasing this product can cause a frenzy at Spicymonkey Towers. It has been known to take at least 2 days to calm the monkeys down again.
