Flavor & cooking character
Hot, citrusy and tingling with chile, Sichuan pepper, orange, ginger and warm spice.
Mala-style seasoning combines tingling spice with chile heat; they are different sensations. Orange aroma can be hidden if the coating is too heavy or scorched. Start modestly and let a plain grain and fresh vegetables balance the intensity.
What to cook
Wings, chicken, tofu, mushrooms, roasted nuts, fries and grilled vegetables.
How much to use & when to add it
1/2 teaspoon per pound to begin.
Apply before roasting or grilling, or toss over hot cooked foods with a little oil. Start modestly if unfamiliar with Sichuan pepper's numbing sensation.
Use this amount as a starting point for flavor, then adjust to your food and taste. If other ingredients bring salt, sweetness or heat, account for those before adding more seasoning.
Kitchen idea: Mala orange roasted cauliflower
Toss 1 pound cauliflower with oil and 1/2 teaspoon rub. Roast at 425°F until tender and browned. Serve over rice with cucumber, tasting before adding a finishing pinch or extra citrus.
