After recovering from the excitement of that amazing surprise first episode of Rick and Morty season three, attention was turned to trying to convince McDonald’s to bring back the Szechuan sauce featured in the episode the fast food chain offered back in 1998 when Disney released the animated movie Mulan.
While we wait to see if the sauce comes back, YouTube series “Binging with Babish” is here to offer some ways to create your own Szechuan sauce at home. You can check out the video below.
The “Binging with Babish” series comes from YouTube user Andrew Rea, who brings together the two wonderful worlds of food and entertainment by re-creating notable food items from movies and TV shows. Rea doesn’t know how the original sauce tasted, but shares three different ways to make your own sauce at home if you’re not confident McDonald’s will bring it back or are too impatient to wait.
My guess is that most folks who want McDonald’s to bring the sauce back have never even had it before, or at least have forgotten what it tasted like. I was plenty old enough at the time, but never tried it myself.
Still, the seed has been planted and people want the sauce. So we shall see if it makes a return two decades later, perhaps when Disney’s live-action Mulan is released.
Other food videos on the channel include Bob’s Burgers burgers, ratatouille from Ratatouille, dessert pasta from Elf, prison sauce from Goodfellas, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze New York-style pizza, and of course, the Big Kahuna burger from Pulp Fiction.
For now, to the kitchen!

I was 9 when Szechuan sauce graced sauce pumps across the nation, so naturally, I can’t remember at all what it tastes like. But with the help of some actual Szechuan sauce (like, the stuff from Sichuan), a Redditor’s diligent recreation, a fast-food-secret: mixing things together in different ways and repackaging it, we might just come close!
