Soeos Szechuan Peppercorn Oil 8.05 fl oz/238ml, Prickly Ash Oil, Fragrant Spice for Sichuan Dishes, Sichuan Pepper Oil, Sichuan Oil, Peppercorn Flavored Oil, Szechuan Pepper Corn Oil

I need small bottle and it's very expensive

As a huge lover of Sichuan/Szechuan peppercorns, I had to try this oil & it is AWESOME!!! I hope it comes back in stock as I do not want to run out. I will still use the peppercorns, but this is so terrific for adding that unique taste in liquid form.

Another winner from Soeos! An unigue Chinese flavoring. AROMA: moderate citrus smell. Not over-whelming. TASTE: Bold and strong! Heavy citrus and 'piney' flavors. EFFECT: Lots of tingle and numbness. HEAT: Doesn't have "heat" like some might expect. It is really not from a 'pepper'. Seems to be a good quality oil. Not meant to be a 'cooking oil' it's really just a 'finishing oil' But before you order some I suggest one might taste some first before ordering a whole bottle so you will know what to expect. It is definitely different! I can't wait to experiment with this in various recipes!

This tastes great, amazing packaging, and is a great product. Nothing is wrong with the product at all. Sadly, good luck finding any recipes that use it - you're gonna have to figure out how to use it on your own. Maybe you're into that, but just a fair warning to anyone who enjoys authentic recipes and following instructions from trained experts. If you're the kinda person that just throws random things together and likes to experiment, it's for you, but even then - this is a BIG bottle. I'd suggest the manufacturer make this bottle significantly smaller.

Great oil for cooking or adding additional flavor to a meal

This is exactly the secret ingredient to my homemade ramen. The flavor is a cooling, numbing & pine-flavored heat. The local shop adds szechuan peppercorn oil to their broth and I've been trying to find this stuff for a while. This oil is incredibly potent and you only need a few drops mixed in to your soup bases prior to cooking. It adds an incredibly complex heat to Asian meat & seafood dishes, but especially soups and ramens. Include some of this oil with some pepper seed oil, into rendered pork/chicken fat and szechuan chili flakes and you have a complex umami, cooling-heat flavor. I highly recommend it, but please understand the flavor profile of szechuan peppercorn prior to purchasing as it's not for everyone.
