Step 2
Place a wok over the heat, pour in the vegetable oil and bring it up to temperature. Add the Sichuan peppercorns and fry until nearly cooked through, then fish them out. Add the chopped scallion and give it a quick sizzle, then tip in the celtuce. Stir-fry to coat evenly, splash in the soy sauce and sprinkle in the fine salt, toss until well combined, and serve immediately.
