   1      tablespoon    Sichuan peppercorns -- crushed
   1      tablespoon    minced fresh ginger
   1      tablespoon    minced garlic
   6      tablespoons   Chinese black soy sauce
   4      tablespoons   Chekiang -- vinegar or white
                        -- rice vinegar
   4 1/2  teaspoons     sugar
   3      tablespoons   sesame oil
   1      teaspoon      chili oil or cayenne pepper -- or Tabasco

Preparation:

Mix all. Process just to blend, pour into a bowl and let stand until the sugar is completely dissolved. NOTE: The Chenkiang vinegar mentioned is somewhat similar to a thick malt type vinegar though it has more flavor. It has quite a unique and good taste. Any good Chinese market should have it.
