Chinese Salt & Chilli Spice Blend

Chinese Salt & Chilli Spice Blend — Blend No.27

Salt & chilli is the takeaway favourite everyone orders — and now you can make it better at home, for a fraction of the price. This is a proper flavour bomb: salty, spicy and aromatic, turning a simple stir-fry of chicken, beef or chips into the real thing in 30 to 40 minutes. No waiting for delivery.

What it tastes like

Salty and spicy with real depth — medium chilli heat and tongue-tingling Szechuan pepper, rounded out by garlic, ginger, star anise and warm spice. Punchy and moreish.

Cook this tonight

• Toss through crispy chicken, beef or prawns with peppers and onions for a salt & chilli stir-fry — serve with rice.
• Sprinkle over chips or roast potatoes straight from the oven for salt & chilli chips.
• Season tofu or halloumi before frying for a veggie version with all the kick.

How to use it

A little goes a very long way — just one teaspoon is plenty for a family meal for four or five. For the classic takeaway effect, toss it through your meat or veg in the last minute of a hot stir-fry, or scatter over chips as soon as they're cooked. Start light and add more to taste — it packs a punch.
