Ingredients
Soak the wood ear mushrooms in warm water for about 20 minutes, then rinse in cold water until the water is clear. Drain well, then cut into thin shreds.
Mix the pork in a bowl with a pinch of salt and about half the cornflour paste until well coated.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a smoking-hot wok. Add the pork and stir-fry for about 1 minute until the colour changes, then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside until needed.
Add the remaining oil to the wok and heat. Add the garlic, ginger, the white parts of the spring onions, the wood ears and celery, and stir-fry for 1 minute.
Return the pork strips to the wok together with the remaining salt, sugar, soy sauce, chilli sauce, vinegar and wine. Blend well and continue stirring for another minute.
Finally, add the green parts of the spring onions and blend in the remaining cornflour paste and sesame oil. Stir until the sauce has thickened. Transfer the chilli-flavoured pork to a warmed serving dish, and serve immediately.
