Zheng Feng Sichuan Peppercorn Whole 100g

Sichuan pepper is notoriously difficult to keep for a longer period, but this one, while it is certainly not very fresh, has a strong pungent flavour and much needed recognisable tingy feeling. While it is better if you can get them fresh, this is as good as it gets for your pantry and longer keeping.

Good taste if cooking Chinese food

This peppercorn is really great quality and you get a good amount for what you pay for! The taste is very intense as I imagine these are quite fresh, so a little goes a long way! I wish they did a ground version so you don't have to grind these up yourself as it can be time consuming.

We only use this Sichuan peppercorns for making dan dan noodles, and honestly they work really well. I’m not an expert or anything, but they give that proper numbing, slightly citrusy kick you want in the dish. The flavour comes through nicely without needing much. Every time we use them, the noodles taste really good, so I’m happy with them and would keep buying.

Bought this item a few times,good quality

Not for the faint hearted , these Sichuan Peppercorns really do have the unique spice, tang and bite sensation expected from this type of peppercorns. A very unique aroma and flavour with that wonderful lingering 'smarting' sensation in the mouth. Great value pack .

I just roast them a bit, I don’t have mortar and pestle so I put a sieve over an empty bowl or pot and I use a wooden dough roller to crush them. It works pretty well. I get rid of the powder and I hand pick the little black stones and also get rid of them. The crushed remains of the peppercorns shell is the only thing that I save and put in a jar for later use. Sprinkle some over mapo tofu and it’s delicious. But you have to prepare them properly, otherwise it won’t taste good because the leftover powder and little black stones don’t taste pleasant at all.

Bought this because it was used by Gordon Ramsey but found it just about thw same as standard black pepper.
