Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Szechwan peppercorns
- 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
Instructions
Heat a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until warm.
Add the Szechwan peppercorns to the skillet and toast them for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they become fragrant and slightly darker in color. Be careful not to burn them.
Once the peppercorns are toasted, transfer them to a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Allow them to cool for 1-2 minutes.
Grind the Szechwan peppercorns into a fine powder.
Return the empty skillet to medium heat and add the kosher salt. Toast the salt for 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously, until it turns slightly off-white and feels warm to the touch.
Remove the salt from the skillet and mix it with the ground Szechwan peppercorns in a small bowl.
Stir well to evenly combine, then store the mixture in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
Use the roasted Szechwan pepper salt as a seasoning or dip for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or fried foods.
