Red Sichuan Peppercorns

An essential ingredient in Sichuan cooking, Sichuan peppercorns give spicy Sichuan dishes their unique mouth-numbing quality. Along with spicy Chinese chilies, they create a flavor known as mala, or “numbing-spicy.” This unique taste profile is characteristic of dishes from Sichuan Province in southwestern China.

Similar to (ChiliOil4) this was split in to two containers; one for my father. The main difference with this one is that I toasted some of the spices before adding them to the oil.
