Sichuan pepper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is quite a tasty pepper. My roommate is from Sichuan and I have used it in many different dishes to tasty results. I've used in Thai-style peanut stir fries and in Sichuan hot pots.

Now I just randomly ground some up with some black pepper and used it in a ridiculously good fucking omelette. I've become convinced it is one of the greatest peppers I've ever had and I want to pass on the information.
 
Fun fact: If you bite into this pepper it makes your tongue numb...unless you're me. My roommate has never met anyone who's tongue doesn't go numb if you bite right into one of the peppers. I guess I'm just special. (Or even worse...I'm missing some taste buds that would make these magical peppers taste even better. :( )
 
yeah the Chinese restaurant down the street from me has hot pots with sichuan peppers in it.....i kind of like how it makes your tongue numb
 
i like to put some in a pan with whole coriander, whole cumin, and salt

toast until the spices just start to turn brown, then grind in a coffee grinder and use as a meat rub
