Tried making Kung Pao chicken at home and followed the authentic recipe—those Sichuan peppercorns are no joke. The dried chilies are easy to spot, but those little peppercorns sneak up on you. Bit into a couple and got that numbing, earthy taste. Wondering if restaurants just leave them in too, or maybe grind them? #Share me food #KungPaoConfessions #PeppercornProblems #Food
