Instructions

Keep Screen Awake

In a dry pan or wok, roast the Sichuan peppercorns, stirring constantly, over medium / low heat, until the aroma of the peppercorns is released, for about 3 minutes.
Place the Sichuan peppercorns and all the other ingredients in a spice grinder (or coffee grinder) and grind until you get a smooth and uniform consistency.
Store the mixture in a tightly sealed glass spice jar.
