Napa Cabbage with Sichuan Peppercorn

This was perhaps the easiest dish to prepare since it was just a quick stir-fry of Napa cabbage and some peppers. Beware of the amount of peppercorns you put in - I didn't really count out the number of pepper corns I threw into the pan, and that made the whole kitchen crew start to sneeze from the peppery-ness. :-D This was a nice side dish to contrast with the beef short ribs and the salmon. Walter's recipe below.

Ingredients:

1 Napa cabbage (chopped into roughly 2 inch squares)

8 Sichuan peppercorns

1-2 dried red pepper
