A sensational Szechuan sauce that will make you skip store bought for good. Sesame oil, ginger, and star anise give this sauce its authentic kick. Use it for a beef or shrimp stir fry.

  4. yumyum REVIEW:

    My boyfriend wanted me to make szechuan sauce and I haven't had it in so long I wasn't even sure what it was supposed to taste like. He loved it! He said it was better than what you get at most chinese places. I also loved it! will make it again...and again!

  5. Jooles REVIEW:

    Just finished making this and it tastes amazing. Far far better than any shop sauce that can be bought. I also made the Hoisin recipe (also on this site) to put in this. I have jarred it up and will be using it in a Mixed seafood with Szechuan sauce and noodles meal. I will never by shop bought ever again. Thank you so much for the recipe. If I could give more than 5/5 I would.
