Steps to make Spicy bacon, cucumber and potato salad:
- Scrub and wash the potatoes and boil them in plenty of salted water until tender - usually about 15 minutes. Drain and keep warm in the pan.
- Cut the bacon into 1 inch chunks. Heat the wok until almost smoking and add the oil, the dried chilies and the Sichuan peppercorns - make sure you have a window open or the extractor working full blast as these fumes will be deadly. Stir fry to release the flavours and then add the star anise.
- Add the bacon to the pan and cook stirring until it starts to brown around the edges. Stir in the chopped fresh chilli.
- Add the rice wine, the sesame oil and the vinegar, followed by the cucumber. Stir fry for a few seconds.
- Take the wok off the heat and stir in the potatoes. Season with salt, drizzle with lime juice and chili oil, if more heat is desired.
- Divide between bowls or plates and top with chopped coriander.
