Slice the pork into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Peel the water chestnuts and cut them into thin rounds. Have all your aromatics prepped and ready near the stove.
Toss the pork slices with a splash of soy sauce, the cooking wine, and half the cornstarch slurry. Let it sit for 5 minutes while you heat the wok.
Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the Sichuan peppercorns and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until fragrant. Toss in the ginger and garlic, stirring quickly until they release their aroma.
Add the marinated pork to the wok. Spread it out in a single layer and let it sear for 30 seconds before stirring. Cook until the pork turns opaque and develops a nice color, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the water chestnut slices and stir-fry for another minute. Splash in a little water if the wok looks dry. Stir in the remaining cornstarch slurry to create a light glossy sauce. Season with salt, toss in the green onions, and serve immediately over steamed rice.
