Red Szechuan Pepper - 1oz

Red Szechuan pepper is the earthier, warmer counterpart to green — the same extraordinary numbing tingle, but with deeper, more resinous notes and less of the bright citrus character. It is the more commonly encountered form in classic Szechuan cooking, essential in ma la spice blends and the complex, layered heat that defines the cuisine. Like all Szechuan pepper, it is less about heat and more about sensation — a full-mouth experience unlike anything else in the spice pantry.

Flavor Profile Warm and earthy with resinous, woody notes and the signature mouth-numbing tingle. Less citrusy than green Szechuan, with a deeper, more complex finish.

Recommended Uses – Use in Szechuan spice blends, ma la preparations, and spiced oils – Add to braised pork, duck, or beef dishes with bold, complex sauces – Incorporate into spiced noodle dishes and cold sesame preparations – Bloom in oil with dried chilies for a classic Szechuan chili oil – Use in dry rubs for grilled or roasted meats where unusual depth is welcome

Cooking Tips Toast lightly and grind before using for the most vivid flavor and tingle. Remove any stems or husks before grinding — they contribute bitterness without aroma. Use in small quantities until you know your preference.
