Got some szechuan peppercorns from my friend and have never eathen them outside lao gan ma. The taste suprised me!

I made a noodle soup with greens and bloomed them in oil on high heat with garlic and fenugreek. They have a distinct, piney taste that I didn't expect. It was very pleasant! Overall, i made the soup way too spicy with chilis but it was really good.
