<h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>
Combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Whisk them together until the cornstarch dissolves completely. This mixture will help thicken the sauce later on.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>
Heat sesame oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Once hot, add the grated ginger and minced garlic. Saute them for about 2 minutes or until they become fragrant but are not browned. This base will give your sauce a depth of flavor.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>
Stir in soy sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, chili flakes, and Szechuan peppercorns (if using). Mix everything well and bring the sauce to a simmer. The mix of these ingredients will start to infuse and create a wonderful aroma.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>
Whisk in the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan, ensuring to stir continuously to avoid any lumps forming. Cook for about 2 minutes or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon but still be pourable.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool down a bit before serving. The sauce's flavor intensifies as it cools, so give it a few minutes to meld together perfectly.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>
Enjoy your Szechuan sauce with your favorite dishes! It pairs wonderfully with chicken, beef, or even as a dipping sauce for appetizers. Store any leftover sauce in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
