I had these last week too and they were lovely.
If you've ever had starter dishes ending in 'jil yuen' (sp?) at a Chinese
restaurant, this is the same 'salt & pepper' dressing. It seems to be
szechuan pepper (which i've never actually managed to buy anywhere), salt,
oil, spring onions, garlic and a little chilli. It gives a lovely instant
kick that doesn't kill your palete and leaves you craving more of the same
taste. It's beautiful and that's coming from someone who can't take hot
spices - it gives things that can occasionally be a bit uneventful like
squid or thinly sliced ****k chop a real 'wow factor'.
I'd love to create the same thing. Anyone have any ideas?
