- Sichuan peppercorns

Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- 'Chaoshou' is the Sichuan term for wonton. Knead minced pork with salt and sesame oil, and fluffily wrap a tiny amount of filling in ultra-thin wonton skins (enjoying the skin's fluttering throat-feel is key).
- Make the absolute key 'Hongyou'. Add roasted and crushed 'Sichuan peppercorns' heavily to homemade chili oil (with chili powder settled at the bottom).
- Furthermore, mix Taiwan's sweet 'black vinegar (Wu Cu)', soy sauce, a little sugar, and grated garlic to complete the special Mala sauce.
- Boil wontons briefly (~
- min) in plenty of water, drain, and plate.
- Drizzle the Hongyou sauce generously over them, finishing with chopped scallions and crushed peanuts.

Trivia
[For Spicy Food Lovers] The most popular spicy dim sum in Taiwan. Behind the 'Ma (numbing)' and 'La (spicy)', there's 'Suan (sour)' from black vinegar and 'Tian (sweet)' from sugar, creating an addiction that stops you from putting down your chopsticks despite the heat.
