The spices commonly used in spicy sauce include: white sesame seeds, red peanuts, sunflower seeds, walnuts, dried tangerine peel, cinnamon, and bay leaves. These spices are stir-fried until fragrant and then processed with fried millet peppers to create a delicious spicy sauce.
The seasonings used in numbing and spicy sauce (taking Sichuan-style numbing and spicy sauce as an example) mainly include: Sichuan peppercorns, Sichuan peppercorn oil, bird's eye chilies, broad bean paste, fermented black beans, scallions, ginger, garlic, and rock sugar. Making a delicious and refreshing numbing and spicy sauce is not easy, but fortunately, it can be bought in most supermarkets and stores. However, I prefer to make it myself, as it better suits my taste.
