Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the poaching liquid

In a medium saucepan, combine water, sugar, Szechuan peppercorns, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.

2

Poach the oranges

While the poaching liquid is heating, carefully peel the navel oranges, removing as much of the white pith as possible. Slice them into thick rounds or halves. Once the poaching liquid is simmering, gently add the orange pieces. Cover and let them poach for about 10 minutes, or until tender.

3

Prepare the coconut sauce

In a separate small saucepan, heat the coconut milk over low heat. Stir occasionally until warmed through. Adjust the sweetness if desired.

4

Serve the dish

Once the oranges are poached, carefully remove them from the liquid and place them on serving plates. Drizzle with warmed coconut milk and sprinkle with black sesame seeds before serving.
