Pour the oil into a small saucepan and add the sliced shallots, sliced garlic, whole Sichuan peppercorns, cinnamon stick, star anise, and bay leaves. Set over medium-low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots and garlic are deep golden and crisp, 18–22 minutes. Watch closely toward the end — the shallots can go from golden to burnt quickly.
