Okay, so I need to know how to make Szechuan sauce.

Anybody got a recipe that I can't find on the net already?

Here are a couple:

I don't remember where this came from, but it's good.
1 1/2 T chili bean paste
2 t fermented black beans
a few whole Szechuan red chillies
1/2 c veggie stock
1 t sugar
1 t light soy sauce
2 t cornstarch mixed with 1 T cold water
1/4 t ground Szechuan peppercorns (best not to substitute)

Pour over whatever you've cooked and bring to a boil, stirring, until it turns clear.

OR

from my beloved Madhur Jaffrey cookbook, not sure if it's technically Szechuan, but it's close.
2 t cornstarch (mix in water as above)
1/2 c stock
1 t chili paste with soybean (aka with soybean and garlic)
2 T light soy sauce
1 T sesame oil
1/2 t salt
1/2 t sugar
use as above
