Mala Sauce Overview
Mala sauce is believed to have originated in the Sichuan area, where it has been a staple of the local cuisine for decades. Sichuan peppercorns have been used in cooking since the Han dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE), and the combination of Sichuan peppercorns and chilli peppers is a trademark of Sichuan cuisine. Mala sauce on the other hand, initially began as a dipping sauce for hot pot, a popular communal dinner in which diners boil a variety of meats, veggies, and noodles in a simmering broth.
Since then, Mala sauce has grown in popularity outside of China, particularly in Asian nations such as Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand, and has also gained popularity in Western countries, where it is frequently served as a condiment with foods such as noodles, stir-fries, and grilled meats. Many restaurants have also now begun to include Mala sauce on their menus, and dedicated Mala hot pot restaurants have popped up in cities throughout the world.
As a condiment, Mala sauce also provides various health benefits in addition to its great taste, unbeknownst to many. This is due to Sichuan peppercorns that have anti-inflammatory qualities that can help reduce pain and swelling in the body. They also include antioxidants, which help protect cells from harm and lower the risk of chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease. These peppercorns along with regular chilli are also high in antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties.
With its growing popularity, a humble serving of Mala sauce is now frequently used in recipes that are high in protein and loaded with veggies, making it a healthy and nutritious complement to one's diet. This condiment has quickly become an addiction that can bring flavour and spice to dishes that would otherwise be boring or unappealing, making it more convenient to eat healthily and to have fun with our meals.
