The soup base is key
Prep thoroughly
Prepare basic oil, chili, pepper, bean paste, garlic, ginger, star anise, rice wine, soy sauce, sugar, salt, chicken essence, sesame oil, and broth in advance.
Balance dried chilies and peppercorns
Sichuan pepper provides numbing, while chili adds heat. Finding the right balance is crucial to ensure Sichuan pepper enhances mouthfeel without overshadowing the chili’s spice.
Maintain pot temperature
When frying, keep a close eye on the heat. Only add ingredients when the oil is hot enough to prevent burning.
Enhance seasoning aroma
Cook the ingredients in batches, stirring until their aromas are fully released. Don’t hesitate to marinate occasionally for deeper flavor.

Prepare ingredients
