    Heat a wok and add salad oil. Once the oil is hot, add star anise and Sichuan peppercorns and fry until fragrant. Add 500 of Chufang soy sauce. Do not leave the soy sauce in the wok for too long; heat it until it's just hot. After the oil has cooled, pour it directly over the prepared cucumber slices to finish.
