Our Szechuan Peppercorns deliver a distinctive tingling sensation unlike any other spice. They are excellent in stir-fries and roasted vegetables, and work well when used to season the surface of meats such as beef, poultry, or seafood before grilling or searing. Lightly dry-toasting the peppercorns brings out their most aromatic qualities and depth of flavor. Toast in a dry pan over medium heat for 3–4 minutes, stirring often to avoid burning.
