Again, many sauces can be used as dipping sauces, whether traditional Sichuan, Hunan, or mixing in a Thai or Vietnamese dipping sauce. The list here is purely those considered traditional in Sichuan cuisine. The list is from Fuschia Dunlop's The Land of Plenty . Ingredients:
sesame oil |
peanut oil (consider the flavor of the oil in this case) or vegetable oil (consider the flavor of the oil in this case) |
garlic |
salt |
1 tablespoon roasted sichuan peppercorn (for sichuan pepper salt) |
1/2 tablespoon salt (for sichuan pepper salt) |
Directions:
1. Each of the ingredients above is a dipping sauce, all by itself, other than the sichuan pepper and salt.
2. Provide small bowls of each dip for each individual diner.
3. ============= Sichuan Pepper Salt ============.
4. Dry roast the Sichuan peppers until they are fragrant - do NOT burn them.
5. Using a coffee grinder or mortar and pestle, grind the peppers.
6. You may either serve the pepper and salt in individual dipping bowls or you can mix the salt and pepper to create a single dipping ingredient.
