Hey guys!

I'm back with a little review for you all and first off, i am really excited for this one. The reason that i am so excited to review this is because it's something i have never heard of before and i am always open to trying new products, especially food as i enjoy experimenting and cooking with various ingredients etc.

'WamBam Sichuan' is a little company in London that sells Sichuan ingredients to spice up your cooking.

What IS Sichuan? you're asking.. Well, it is a spicy and rich flavouring that gives plenty of chilli heat to your meals, and kind of a strange tingly feeling that numbs your tongue which comes from the peppercorns. (I actually did the challenge that is stated on the back of the package which includes popping a peppercorn in your mouth and im 99% sure that my taste buds were vibrating!!!)

It's very popular in China and Sichuan food is known for being explosively tasty. They call the chillies and peppercorns 'Mala', which translates to 'hot and numbing'.



I was kindly sent a package to try which included, green and red peppercorns, 18 month chilli bean paste and also 2 Sichuan oils.  I immediately thought to add them to my stir fry dish when i cooked one and that was then i first used the oil. I opted for red (tingly fizzy) as i LOVE spicy foods, and this did not disappoint. The flavour it gives is satisfying, and you feel like you're dining out at a restaurant!

The next meal i made a few days later was chicken stir fry, where i added peppercorns to this. They are quite small, so you have to be careful when adding these to your food as these are the culprits of giving you a numb tongue.
I really was not ready for this feeling and i did stick my tongue out a few times before realising what was actually going on, lol!!


The only way i can describe them is if you've ever had something that makes your mouth numb (maybe clove oil for toothache? or the aftermath of the dentist) and you can't feel your tongue, well think of that but think of your tongue vibrating too. I literally had to touch my tongue to see if i could actually feel it vibrating. (which i couldn't but it was so cool!)

- I would definitely recommend buying these ingredients and they last a while too. I still have quite an amount left of everything and the good thing about the paste is, you can use it to fry your meat or vegetables in to get the flavour on them!

They have some great recipes on their website that you can try if you want, and i will link them here.  Recipes to try
