The Schezuan Sauce is a must-have in the Chinese food lover’s kitchen. It is one of the most popular Oriental accompaniments, and can be served with any Chinese starter or main course.

It is quite spicy, and is also often used in the preparation of Chinese and Indo-Chinese fusion dishes, including several noodles recipes, rolls and wraps.

It can be made and stored in the freezer in an airtight container for a month. Although it is readily available in shops, a fresh homemade sauce always has a more vibrant taste.

You can use it to make tongue-tickling recipes like the Paneer and Spring Onions in Schezuan Sauce or Schezuan Chopsuey Dosa.
