Referred to by the Cantonese as "flower pepper," Sichuan pepper is the dried reddish-brown berry of a prickly ash tree native to China. Sichuan pepper is not related to black pepper and does not pack the similar heat or pungency. Instead, it has a slightly tingly, numbing effect on the tongue - what the Chinese call "Ma" - leaving behind notes of lemon and anise. When combined with hot chile pepper, the combination is numbing and spicy, or "Ma-La" and one of the primary sensations in fiery Sichuan cooking.
To enhance their flavor and fragrance, we suggest lightly toasting them in a dry skillet prior to grinding or adding to your dish. Or season oil, by heating oil adding the pepper for a minute, and then removing the peppercorns.
