Hello kids! Today, we are going to learn to prepare a dish that is super exciting and delicious — qinma sichuan chili sauce. What the hell are you — so if you like to eat Chinese food you may have known this famous sauce from the Sichuan provinces of China. It’s famous for being spicy and tasty. By the way, did you know you can actually make this sauce in your own kitchen? Yes, you can! It’s super fun to do and easy to do. Let’s find out how we can create our very own Shi-chuan chili sauce step by step. To start, we have to soak the dried chili peppers in hot water. You need to do this for 30 minutes or so until soft. The soaking prepares the chili peppers to blend into the sauce. Following the soaking process we carefully pluck out the seeds and stems from the peppers, chopping them into smaller and more manageable fragments. Just handle carefully and definitely not touch your eyes or nose after the chili pepper fingerprinting. They can cause so much heat that you think they had go straight back and bother your face if you don't wash your hands immediately after!
Now it’s time to roast the Sichuan peppercorns in a pan over the stove. All we have to do is roast them until they smell great, and that doesn’t usually take long. Then we grind and pulverize the roasted peppercorns into a powder. You can pound for this in a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder. You’re releasing their awesome flavor, which is going to spice up our sauce even more. Once our peppercorns are ready, it is time to chop up our garlic and ginger. Mincing means chopping them up into very small pieces so they will incorporate in to the qinma sichuan hot sauce. Then we grab a large bowl and we add all our ingredients — the chopped chili peppers, the Sichuan peppercorn powder, minced garlic, minced ginger, salt, sugar, soy sauce and vinegar. It’s vital you combine all of these ingredients really well so that each mouthful of the sauce is packed with flavor.
At last we transfer the mixture into a clean glass jar. Let’s ensure that jar is clean so that our sauce remains fresh. We have to put the lid back on the jar and keep it in the fridge after pouring it in. It will develop the flavor and make our homemade Sichuan chili sauce even better! And your beautiful sauce is good to go! Add it to our noodles, dumplings, stir-fries, rice or whatever Chinese dish we love to eat.
Round out the flavors: qinma chili sauce isn’t about the heat only. It also has savory, sweet and sour flavors that you need to balance just right. We need to make sure that all of this flavour plays nicely in our sauce. Soy sauce and vinegar impart a nice mami flavor and spiciness to the sauce, and sugar adds sweetness. The aid in creating the wonderful aroma and depth of the sauce.
Be patient and be careful: Don`t rush through any part of the process. So from soaking the chili peppers to roasting the peppercorns and mincing the garlic to tossing in all the ingredients, pay attention to all those details. If you rush or make a mistake, however slight, it could make a difference in the way the sauce does or doesn’t turn out.
