Jiaoyan, meaning “salt and pepper,” is a classic Chinese seasoning built around the bright, citrusy aroma of Sichuan peppercorns. It’s not spicy, but it has a gentle tingling quality that makes every bite more vibrant and addictive. While Jiaoyan is often used for shrimp or chicken wings, I especially love it with ribs. When fried properly, they turn golden and crisp on the outside, tender and juicy inside, and coated in a deeply fragrant spice blend. It’s a simple dish with bold flavor — and one that always disappears quickly from the table.
