MADE WITH OUR DELICIOUS
Fiery Szechuan Sauce

The balanced combination of Szechuan chilli, black vinegar, soybean, tomato, and sugar will leave you salivating in a sensational flavour explosion of tongue-tingling heat and spice. This is followed by what is known in China as ‘mala’ - a pleasant mouth-numbing feeling from the Szechuan peppercorns - resulting in a memorable dish you’ll be coming back to time and time again.

Famed for its bold flavours, liberal use of chilli and unique Szechuan peppercorn, the Sichuan province of Southwestern China is where this dish originates from. In our rendition of Szechuan sauce, that characteristic zingy tingling shines through to delightfully mouthwatering effects.
