I would recommend watching the video in addition to looking at the written recipe. The video has additional information.
Using the full amount of sichuan peppercorns as instructed by the written recipe makes the dish a very intense experience. You get the same physical reaction as eating very spicy food – you start sniffing, your forehead gets damp, your face feels hot, etc – but instead of a painful burning feeling in your mouth you get a tingly numb feeling.
I loved it (I compared it to my mouth being carbonated) but it was too intense for my significant other (he compared it to neuropathy).
