We use this on steamed dumplings. Great taste.

very good product

I was a little surprised at this product. I was expecting something like Pixian Broad Bean Paste. However this product contains Cinnamon,, Cumin and clove , which to me tastes more indian than purely szechuan. Don't get me wrong , the taste is great and you definitely get a kick from the szechuan peppercorn and chilli peppers , But it would make a strange tasting Ma po tofu I will probably buy it again, it's a unique product, but not what I was expecting. Maybe , it would be good on some Kangaroo meat

I love this stuff. I live in a small town in the Midwest so finding a variety of spices isn't exactly the easiest. I got a recipe for Szechuan noodles and went online and found this. Since then, we've probably had noodles once a week. It's just that tasty. This is very much a use amount as needed sauce. I make the whole pot with just a tablespoon of this paste to 8 tbsp of sweet soy glaze. It adds just the right amount of heat for my more sensitive husband. I add another dollop to my own bowl to give it more kick for my own liking. I also appreciate how easily it mixes in. If I'm stirring it into the soy glaze or my own noodles, it stirs in and incorporates super easy without big chucks which is nice. The peppercorns are soft and tender and not disconcerting when you have one in a bite. I could easily see tossing a little in a wide variety of dishes- dressing, crema, chili. I'm a big fan and will be making this a staple in our kitchen.

really mushy and tastes nothing like ginger or scallion. wondering if i got a bad bottle.

Extremely tasty mala heat. Tried 1.5 teaspoons over a medium size bowl of noodles with some trimmings. Been about 5 minutes since I finished my meal and my lips are still numb. I've got a bit of a sweat going on. This is delicious and perfectly numbing. A little pricey having to buy it online (wish my local asian market stocked it), so only 4/5 stars on value for money. 5/5 stars for flavor and versatility (I can tell this is going to be going in a lot more than noodle dishes).

Good
