Schezwan Sauce the high on flavour sauce which gives many dishes like Schezwan Rice, Schezwan Noodles, Schezwan Stir-fried vegetables etc; their distinct flavour. I was happy making Schezwa rice with the store-bought sauce until I chanced upon this recipe while surfing browsing the internet. It seemed so easy and I wondered at its simplicity and high flavour. I learnt to make it so that I could make the Schezwan rice and other such recipes mentioned above with it. The outcome was so so good that I’m not buying store-bought sauce again.  It is so simple and most of them are simple home ingredients.  Chinese Five spice was mentioned and I wondered what it would be. I checked out that too and so I made the 5 spice powder at home too. It is made with everyday masalas we use at home. So here first I will take you through the process of the  Chinese Five-spice powder followed by the Schezwan sauce.

While you are here please check out my other spice powders like Sambar Powder.

I am posting the step by step process directly without the initial directions that I usually give. I have adapted the recipe from “feasting at home” as per the Indian Palate and substituted with locally available items.
