What's Sichuan salt?

Expand full comment

Sichuan salt (chuan yan) is just locally produced well salt, mainly from the city Zigong. Forgot to include in the newsletter, the book I cited was from 90s. Back then the recipes use mostly local ingredients. Although in my day to day cooking I just use normal kosher salt (or Alpensalz known in Germany).
