One of the BEST sauces. I put this on chicken/beef and serve with veggies over rice. Turns out perfect every time and I wouldn’t change anything about it!

Awesome sauce. I cook for 7 people and doubled the recipe for my stir fry. I have to say this was the best we ever had. I substituted sriracha for the Chili garlic sauce. Thank you for the recipe.

The sauce was delicious!  I used maple syrup for the sweetener.  Definitely a keeper!

Nice!  I made this last night and it really stood out to my family.  I used brown sugar instead of syrup and sriacha instead of chili garlic sauce.  Also I didn't have five spice powder also I ground up half a star anise, a cinnamon stick and some Sichuan peppercorns (3 out of 5 of the ingredients).

This is a FANTASTIC sauce!  We will be making this often in our house!

Loved this! Found actual szechuan pepper in the Asian supermarket so I used that. It's delicious! I use it in stir-fry or to marinade pork.

I've used a number of your recipes and have never been disappointed.  I used this sauce for a shrimp stir fry.  I had all the ingredients on hand except for all spice.  Maybe because I'm a cook but not a baker perhaps?  I do have shichimi togarashi which is  basically a Japanese version of your last 4 ingredients.  It also has ground sesame and dried orange zest which turned out to be a welcome addition to this excellent sauce.  Thanks for sharing this with us.
