Tip:-

1) Ready-to-use schezwuan sauce packets are available in all grocery stores in the asian foods section.
2) Sherry adds a nice flavor to the schezwuan sauce, but if you don't have it, don't worry; you can omit it without compromising much. And try using fresh ginger and garlic instead of the ready-made paste, because none of these can come close to the taste of fresh ginger.
3) You can substitute red chilli powder for cayenne pepper.
