We love the complex, mouth-numbing quality of floral, piney Sichuan peppercorns, but their aromatic compounds are notoriously short-lived, so store-bought dried versions are often stale and flavorless. Like a bold wine that needs a bit of time to breathe, Green Sichuan Pepper Oil has powerful resinous aromas and earthy, funky notes that some might find daunting when the bottle is first opened. No need to worry: With a bit of air, that intensity mellows and softens, and the oil's complex crushed-pine aroma comes through, along with floral-citrusy notes.
The producer uses a varietal of green Sichuan peppercorn, Jiu Ye Qing, that's especially flavorful with a characteristic mouth-numbing quality that blooms gradually on the palate.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
Use as a substitute in any recipe calling for toasted and ground Sichuan peppercorns—its light, delicate quality makes it perfect for chicken, fish, shellfish and vegetables.
