Szechuan Pepper Salt blends pure coarse sea salt with Szechuan peppercorns. The resulting flavored salt is not only salty, but imparts a slight tingling sensation on the tongue. Szechuan peppercorns are an essential part of Chinese five spice powder, because of their ability to enhance spicy flavors. Try using this salt as part of a brine or dry rub to enhance the effect of other spices!

Shelf Life: Several years.

Szechuan Pepper Salt can be used as a secret ingredient in brines & rubs, or added to Szechuan Chinese dishes to help accentuate their heat. For a traditional Tibetan combination, try using it to season yak meat. It also works well with potato dishes & fries. If desired, this salt can also be ground to a finer consistency using a salt mill or grinder.
