Ingredients
Chili Mixture
Instructions
- First, deseed the soaked and dried red chilies. This reduces some of the intense heat.
- In a food processor or grinder, combine the deseeded chilies, chopped garlic, and chopped ginger. Add a splash of water and process into a smooth paste.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chili paste and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant. This releases the aromatic oils and deepens the flavor.
- Add the soy sauce and white vinegar to the pan. Stir well to combine.
- Add a pinch of sugar and salt to taste. Simmer for a few minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Remove from heat and let the sauce cool completely before storing. The flavors will meld and deepen as it cools.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Shezwan sauce is spicy and versatile, perfect for dishes like Shezwan rice, noodles, and momos.
- Adjust the sauce's consistency to your liking by adding more or less water.
- Balance the spiciness of the sauce by adding sugar.
- Add more oil to the sauce to help preserve it.
- For a smokier flavor, briefly roast the dried chilies before soaking and blending.
- Strain the sauce after blending for a smoother consistency, especially if using it as a dip.
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, use a combination of Sichuan peppercorns and dried chilies in your sauce.
- If you don't have access to fresh ginger and garlic, you can substitute with ginger and garlic powder, but use a smaller amount as the powdered versions are more concentrated.
- Experiment with different types of vinegar, like rice vinegar or black vinegar, to add unique flavor profiles to your Schezwan sauce.
Storage Instructions
- Store the cooled Schezwan Sauce in a sterilized, airtight glass jar.
- Top with a thin layer of oil to further preserve the sauce.
- It can last up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
