Schezwan Sauce or Schezwan Chutney Recipe with step by step photo – Schezwan or Sichuan cuisine is popular for its extreme spicy food, so obviously schezwan chutney/sauce is a highly spicy condiment with an oriental flavour. It is made with lots of dry red chillies, garlic and ginger. This sauce will be an excellent set with fries, noodles, and especially, schezwan rice.

You will not need to buy more sauce from the market; I am going to show you how you can easily make it at home.It is not just about this particular sauce, but you can actually reduce your monthly grocery expense by making a variety of sauces and jams at home. They are not as elaborate to make as they seem.

Sichuan is one of the UNESCO gastronomic cities, located in southwestern China. Due to its distinct cuisine, renowned for its fiery taste and flavour, the city has an individual recognition of its own, than just being Chinese food.

You can make chowmein or fried rice with Schezwan Sauce for breakfast. I have many similar recipe such as white sauce pasta, chinese noodles salad, veg macaroni

It is made with the same ingredients as that of hot sauce, but the authentic schezwan sauce is distinct because Sichuan pepper is used into it, along with other oriental spices. I am using a combination of both dry Kashmiri red chilli and dry Indian red chilli to make this chutney, you can choose your chillies according to how much hotness you can tolerate.

You can also make it with unripe fresh red chilli. Chilies both red and green are good for your health. Red chillies are a rich source of Vitamins C, Provitamin A, iron and antioxidants. It also helps burn calories and increase metabolism rate. However, the desiccated form has a longer shelf life.

You need not refrigerate this condiment for all time; instead, keep the jar under the sun, like in pickle. You can also use fresh, unripe red chillies instead of dry ones. The taste will only mature and enhance. You can store this condiment for up to 4weeks.

I have used the dark sauce to make it more intense. You can also use a light soya sauce as per your taste bud. An addition of onions will make a sweet balance to its fiery sharpness.

For those who love spicy food, they can get addicted to the intense tangy effect of the schezwan sauce, as it tastes extremely well with French fries, dim sums (momo) and other finger foods. Nevertheless, I would suggest not to eat this in large quantities; after all, too much dry red chilli can cause peptic ulcers.

Notes

I have used dark sauce but you can use light soya sauce also, just increase the quantity of soya sauce if adding light one.
You can use chopped onion also.
I have made schezwan chutney spicy but if you want less spicy then you can use only Kashmiri red chilly, just increase the quantity accordingly or if you are using both the chillies just remove the seeds to make it less spicy.
Schezwan chutney stays good for 3-4 weeks but to increase the shelf life use more oil it should be floating on top of the chutney
