Schezwan Sauce is the basic sauce for most of the chinese
dishes.. Use it as a dip or as a main
ingredient in making any dish, it is sure to enhance the taste of the dish.. My
love for anything spicy is many folds.. So this sauce serves my purpose to a
great extent when i want to make a dish for myself..
Recipes in which i used this sauce
Schezwan Sauce
Ingredients:
30 dry red chillies
10-12 cloves of garlic finely
1 inch ginger chopped finely
3/4tsp vinegar
3/4tsp soya sauce
2-3tsp sugar
Method: Remove the stem and soak dry red chillies in hot
water for about an hour till they become soft.. Drain the chillies (donot throw
the water) and grind them to a smooth paste using the water in which you soaked
them.. Heat 3tbsp oil in a pan.. Add in ginger and garlic.. Saute for few
seconds till raw smell disappears.. Donot brown.. Add in the chilli paste and
cook well till it leaves oil for 2-3minutes.. THen add in around 3/4 cup of
water which we reserved, salt, vinegar, soya sauce and sugar.. Mix well and let
it cook on sim for about 5-6minutes till you achieve a desired consistency..
Let it cool and fill in a sterilized bottle and store in weeks for about
2-3weeks..
Note: You can adjust the sugar quantity as per your taste
and likings.. I added 3tsp of sugar.. You can add in ketchup too instead of
sugar..
The spiceness of the sauce
will be more when you make it.. It will subside in 2days..
Add in enough oil in the pan,
so that the oil floats on top when you preserve it in a bottle.. This would
increase the shelf life of the sauce..
