authentic schezwan sauce recipe

Here’s an amazingly delicious and authentic recipe for  Szechuan Sauce that we’ve been using ever since our trip to Shanghai a few years ago!I’m a huge fan of  Szechuan Sauce but hate all the preservatives, sugars and msg that go into store-bought versions, so we make our own at home. !On my hunt for great alternatives to traditional stir fry recipes I had a taste for something a bit spicier. Can be made in 5 minutes!

It is one of my favorites. Bought the Szechuan peppercorns ( ordered on line) and I’m never using store bought again. That makes it the perfect marinating sauce and the leftovers will be stored in the fridge to be used in another stir fry or to flavour leftover meat for my poke bowls As expected, the Five Spice powder was ‘way too prominent in the cooked dish.

Share it with your friends and family!

I’ve made it both ways- with and without the peppercorns, and both turned out good.This sauce rocks!

The mixture should become thicker by now. I need to make this. I’ve made this sauce and all I can say is delicious! So the recipe below includes a fair amount of heat. I just need to buy some protein and veggies.

Your recipe is absolutely WONDERFUL and has filled a huge gap in my repertoire.

I love Szechuan sauce.

Then, transfer it to a lid-jar, and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

I’m just thrilled and grateful for this recipe. The recipe is super easy to follow and this is the exact one I was looking for.

It has a complex and bold combination of flavors, with a nice balance of spiciness and savory to it.This sauce because hugely popular in the USA after it was introduced by McDonald’s.

Thanks for the comment and rating!Loved this!

It has a multitude of uses, but mainly we’ve been using it for quick and easy stir fry or as a marinade for meat or tofu. I love making sauces. In sum, not bad, but not authentic.I made the sauce precisely as directed. ThankyouHey, I just tried your recipe, with balsamic vinegar and a mix of szechuan and madagascar wild pepper. I hadn't thought of making my own Szechuan sauce! Also, it is very deep and rich, with a thick texture, thanks to the cornstarch. Healthier than store-bought versions with no preservatives or msg, It is gluten-free adaptable and vegan! I commend you on a well done recipe! That sounds really good. When it begins to bubble, reduce the heat, and simmer for an additional 3 minutes, while constantly stirring. Oh, I also subbed dry sherry for the rice wine/ mirin.

We always have a bottle of it ready in the fridge, and we utilize it as needed.This is probably one of the easiest recipes you can make. THANK YOU!

That recipe has my name all over it! Adjust based on your tolerance level. USMC66'- 77563 Video is just above the recipe card. Gotta make some. Easy Szechuan Sauce Recipe [video] - Sweet and Savory Meals All in all, this is a great recipe and the ideal sauce to have around. How should I substitute it? We love szechuan sauce! I'm looking forward to trying out your recipe as well. Use it to marinade chicken and in quick stir-frys.This looks sooo good!! I let the star anise remain in the mixture, in the refrigerator, until I used the rest of it.

it doesn’t seem to have much flavour if I just put some on my tongueYes, start with a little less (to be safe) and add more to taste.

So fast and easy!This version of Szechuan Sauce is FULL of flavor and can be made very spicy or kept very mild. It has such a rich flavor, with a spicy and sweet note to it, that is perfect on pretty much any dishes. Heat the mixture for about 4-5 minutes and mix constantly.
