Chinese herb that is dried and in the shape of a star that smells licorice?

Can you answer Jimer’s question about Ginseng?:

They put oil in first and then put 3 or 4 of these in and let it sizzle for a little and then discard before they add everything else to stir fry.

Ginseng Feedback: It’s called Star Anise. You can find it in the spice department. Don’t eat it, though. You can use it for flavoring, but take it out before serving.
