Once you taste homemade Szechuan sauce, you'll be wondering how you ever survived without it. It's so easy to mix up and doubles as both a dip and a marinade! It will take all of your Chinese-inspired dishes to the next level and have your family licking their plates.
In a small pot, whisk all your ingredients together and over medium high heat, bring your sauce to a gentle boil. Make a slurry by mixing equal parts water and cornstarch, then pour into your sauce mixture.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce until it thickens, stirring constantly. This should take about 3 minutes.
Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
