Pour the cold oil into a small pot, then add the Sichuan peppercorns in and bring it to smoking point. Note: The time required will depend on your oil and your stove, but a general rule of thumb is when you can see it just start to show smoke or if it bubbles when a wooden chopstick is placed in the oil, it's ready.
