Sichuan-Spiced Dipping Salt

This aromatic Sichuan-spiced dipping salt is an essential condiment for anyone looking to add a punch of authentic flavour to their cooking. Often found in regional Chinese cuisine, this seasoning combines the numbing heat of Sichuan peppercorns with the earthy warmth of toasted cumin. It is a brilliant example of how a few simple pantry staples can be transformed into a sophisticated finishing salt that awakens the palate without any added sugars.

Quick and easy to prepare, this versatile low-sugar seasoning is the perfect partner for crispy duck, grilled chicken or even roasted root vegetables. By toasting the spices whole, you release the essential oils for a far more intense fragrance than shop-bought alternatives. Simply grind the mixture until fine and serve it alongside your favourite savoury dishes for an instant flavour boost.
