I recently watched a documentary cooking show that featured the green Sichuan peppercorn. I believe it was used in preparing crab, but the idea was incredibly intriguing to me. The way the flavor was described had my mouth watering and looking for a way to try it out. I really like the look of this dish. It seems incredibly fresh, vibrant, and able to wake up the palate with its spice. I will have to see if I can try it out soon! Thanks!
During this special period, many friends began to learn how to cook. You know, many people have to stay at home. Cooking would be an interesting thing. Waiting for your experience on the green Sichuan peppercorn.
Hi Jess,
I’m so happy I found today your website, I love to cook and I love to try new food, your recipe looks so tasty and I’m sure it will come up so good. I’m going to save the recipe on my Pinterest so I can find it again as I need to get some ingredients before I make it.
I’m sure my husband will love it too!]
I’m going to take a look to other recipes on your blog now so I can take some notes to add the ingredients on my groceries list for this week.
Alejandra, Thank you.
I am really excited to try out this green Sichuan Peppercorn fish recipe. I love fish but haven’t made carp before. My hubby and I like to try out a new recipe on the weekends. I think I will suggest that we make this. I have most of the ingredients except the fish and the peppercorn. Do I need to use cooking wine? Or can I use a favorite dry wine?
Hi, Wendy
The materials given in this post contain cooking wine, so you can add it while cooking.
I do love me some Chinese food, there’s not alot of different recipes on how to make Chinese food….Love your recipes.. Love it how you added some easy recipes… Definitely going to follow your recipe and make some at home… Great article to read up on..Great work! Best of luck:)
Looks and sounds like a great fish dish. I will have to try it out as I don’t recall eating green peppercorn before. The term millet pepper is new to me. So I had to look it up. It still is not clear to me what a millet pepper is. I grow Thai chili peppers in a pot at home. We actually have several varieties growing in our flower bed as well. I found tien tsin pepper images and description online, which appear to be millet peppers. Is chicken stock a suitable for chicken powder? We use chicken stock in many of our dishes at home.
You’ll love it if you try this green Sichuan peppercorn fish. The millet pepper is to make you feel piquancy. One of yours is ok if they are piquancy enough. You mentioned using chicken stock instead of chicken powder. They are different, and you’d better not.
The images alone have made this green Sichuan peppercorn fish very tantalising and make my mouth water.
I love fish sauces and this is one I am very much interested in trying out, unfortunately, there aren’t any chinese stores close to my area, but I was wondering if it is possible to get all these ingredients in our regular stores or are they only sold in chinese stores?
Great cooking tips. Thanks for sharing
Cheers..
Hi Queen. I don’t konw where are you? One friend said that it was very easy to get these ingredients because Chinese stores are nearby. There are Chinese stores in most countries, and I think these ingredients not only sold in Chinese stores. That why I build this website. I want more and more people to know about our food and our culture.
Hope you find them.
Cheers
Hi Jess,
Wow, I love fishes, and I was looking for a delicious recipe to cook as I have some guests coming over to my house this weekend:)
Anyway, this recipe not only looks very easy to do but it looks tasty too:) I will follow the step by step that you provided, and I’ll tell you how it goes.
Just one thing, please. I am allergic to eggs, is it possible to replace it with another ingredient? I hope so:)
Thank you for this excellent post!
Hi Daniella. I’m very glad that you like this recipe. It doesn’t matter that you are allergic to eggs. Without this ingredient is also ok, or you can use starch instead, such as the corn starch. The latter is better.
Hmm, you can try it for your dinner. Hope your friends like it.
For me it is a new recipe “green Sichuan peppercorn fish”. I don’t kill after fish, but my daughter and my husband adore it. So I think it is a good idea to try this recipe. I will surprise them.. Thanks for posting.The presentation is very beautiful, with photographers at every step.
Wow, let me guess. What a happy family! With photographers at every step is to make sure that you can get them clear. Hope you give them a big surprise.
I was a little worried about taking on a Sichuan recipe but the instructions you have provided here are really quite simple to follow, for a newbie cook like myself!
I have checked through the kitchen and I actually already have about 75% of the ingredients needed, I’m wondering where the best place to buy the rest online would be? (preferably the cheapest place!).
Yes, if you follow my post step by step, you will find that it is very simple in fact. Generally speaking, buying online is the cheapest, but it needs some time, and Some ingredients can’t buy online. Maybe you can find them in the Asian store in your area, I don’t think you would pay much more.
Hallo there Jess,
I so love your website. You have the best recipes with great visual illustrations. I have recently taken up a new challenge of cooking the green Sichuan peppercorn fish after I had it at a friend’s place. I am going to follow your instructions step by step because the results you have are exactly what I want.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to do this post. It is really going to help me in a big way.
I like the type with visual illustrations. With photographers at every step is to make sure that you can get them clear. If you follow my recipe step by step, you will find that it is very simple. Hope you have a good journey when making this recipe.
Amazing! I have heard about this green Sichuan peppercorn fish from a food enthusiast friend like me and he told me how sweet and yummy it is,but I haven’t been able to prepare it or know the ingredients. Its really nice that you took you time to give a very good and easy to understand guideline on how to prepare this delicious dish. I can’t wait to prepare it and a have a taste of it. I would search for the ingredients from a close by Chinese grocery store. Thanks
I’m very glad that my post is useful for you. These ingredients can be found easily in Chinese store. Wow, that’s great you have a friend who is a food enthusiast and know about this green Sichuan peppercorn fish. It would be very easy for you. Hope you like it.
The look of the dish itself says a lot. Looks like a very delicious one. I like how you have included the step by step methods including photos for the ingredients. Thankfully, the ingredients are easily available in the market, including the Chinese shops.
Though the steps look many, I am surprised that the cooking time is not that long.I believe I can still use a normal pan if I can’t access the Chinese Wok? Thank you for this great recipe. Will sure give it a try and see who to surprise.
Hi, Caro15162
Of course, you can use the normal pan.
This sounds awesome and something I am definitely going to try and cook for myself. I do most of the cooking at home mainly because I like to cook and try new recipes, many which I create on my own from just trying new ingredients. Rarely have I made something that didn’t come out good.
Your recipe guidelines for making the Sichuan peppercorn fish is very easy to follow and has already given me some ideas of added ingredients I may try, but first I must taste the original recipe to be sure. I was thinking that maybe I could add a little Lemon Grass and some yellow or green curry. What do you think about those added ingredients?
Hi, Robert
Generally speaking, it is not recommended to change the ingredients, because this is the taste of Sichuan, mainly the smell of hemp.
Of course, if you like, you can adjust the ingredients according to your favorite style.
Hi Jess,
I remember my mom used to put a bit of pepper in any dishes she made only to raise our appetite since my sisters and myself got very unchained when we were at the dinner table. Your article mentioned “green Sichuan peppercorn” is also something my mom uses for dinner too, but not that often. It does help to bring out the flavor with other ingredients for the same dish if I wasn’t wrong!
I see you use the Chinese Wok for this dish, is it a necessity or we could use a normal pan for this too? It will be nice an expert like you could answer my question.
Hi, Matt
I guess your mother is also a good cook, she can cook very delicious dishes for her family.
When making this dish in your own home, use the ready-made kitchen utensils in the kitchen as much as possible, so you don’t have to use Chinese Wok, just use normal pan.
Hi Jess,
Fish is my favorite food and I prefer spicy dishes. I love to try different dishes and while doing some search online, I came across your helpful article.
Thanks a lot for the step-by-step instruction and providing detailed information. Sichuan peppercorn fish is doable and easy. Also, it doesn’t require some special or rare ingredients. All the ingredients used are our day to day used ingredients.
What I the most like about your article are the images you shared for each step, which is very helpful. For sure Sichuan peppercorn fish is on my list and I will try it.
Thanks for the article I enjoyed it!
Yeah, if you like it, try next time.
This has definitely made my day. Being a coking enthusiast, I like to try my hands on new recipes and also special cuisines and this, green Sichuan peppercorn fish seems very amazing to me. I personally like it because of the ingredients combination and it kind of seems not blendable together but then, since you have tried it out, it should be worth given a trial. Great post!
This is not bad at all and the Sichuan peppercorn fish isn’t a bad idea at all. Some of this ingredients, I use at home and those I don’t have, I can easily grab at a Chinese local grocery store around here. The cooking time isn’t so bad and I have heard about the sichuanese and think I should try it out too. Thanks for the step by step guide. Cheers
It would be very Convenience that there is a Chinese local grocery store around you. You can try it yourself. Doing something new is always excited. Hope you have a nice experience in making the Sichuan peppercorn fish. Maybe you’ll can’t put it down from then on.
