5 Each Napa cabbage leaves
3 Tablespoons peanut oil
4 Each large dried chili peppers
1/2 Tablespoon Szechuan peppercorns
1/2 Teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon thin soy sauce
1/2 Tablespoon rock sugar
1/2 Tablespoon Chinkiang vinegar
1 Teaspoon sesame oil

Preparation: Separate, wash & dry cabbage leaves. Stack them up and cut
them crosswise into 1" wide pieces. Finely mince or grind Szechuan
peppercorns. Crush rock sugar with cleaver handle; mix with soy sauce;
reserve. Stir-frying: Heat wok to moderate; add oil. Wait 30 seconds.
Stir-fry whole chilis until they just blacken; quickly add peppercorns. When
they exude pungent odor, push up side of wok and raise heat to high. Add salt
& cabbage all at once. Keep tossing cabbage until it is wilted & soft.
This takes several minutes. There should be about 2 T of water in wok when
cabbage is wilted. Add sugar & soy mixture. When sugar has melted, toss
with cabbage, then sprinkle vinegar over all. Keep tossing on high heat for
another 20 seconds. Add sesame oil; toss briefly; remove to serving dish. If
serving this dish cold, wait until it has cooled, then cover & refrigerate.
