My family of 4 absolutely loved it, went down a treat! Especially with my very fussy 7 year old and 19 month old. The recipe was bought a few years back called Lancashire Hotpot goes to Sichuan.
We discovered a love of sichuan pepper thanks to the Gong Bao kit. I’ve since adapted to a simple sauce which I use over any mix of chicken and veg, with garlic and a handful of peanuts. Love it! :o) Sauce: 1/2 tsp sichuan pepper 2 tbsp sugar 1 tbsp cornflour 3 tbsp soy sauce 2 tbsp vinegar Pinch salt 2 tbsp water
It's great to hear how much you love the numbing, citrusy flavour of our Sichuan pepper, and we love that you have adapted this into your own sauce! It sounds and looks delicious!
