mskestrela's Notizen, 14 Mai 17

I couple of days ago, I mentioned that my Thai client gifted me a jar of Sichuan Ma La sauce. I'd never heard of it before, so I decided to try a little bit of it in my egg drop soup this morning. I haven't had much experience with Sichuan anything, but I've been hearing (from my fave travel vloggers) about the spicy, mouth-numbing effect of Sichuan peppercorns, and have been wanting to try them.
The sauce is thick with ground chillis, powdered chillis, star anise, cardamom, and the famous peppercorns, and required quite a bit of stirring to get blended. I started off cautiously, since I didn't want to sear my taste buds.
The fist impression was of the unexpected flavors of cardamom and anise. I didn't think I liked it. But after I swallowed the first bite, a warmth spread down my throat that not only wasn't a burn, but was intensely pleasant. There was a little tingle on my tongue, and then I got the full effects of the numbing properties, especially on my lips. It's not hot like a chilli pepper is, but it's a tingle. It reminded me of the feeling when you put a very minty lip balm on chapped lips.
Once I got used to the spice flavors, I decided I like it very much!
The flavor of Ma La is, in my estimation, addictive. I finished my bowl of soup in record time, and am contemplating making a second!
I wish you all a happy Sunday, and a warm Mother's Day.

Great description! I think you should narrate your little kitchen cooking videos.
