Marinate the pork

Prepare the vegetables

Wash the cucumber, peel and deseed it, and slice thinly. Cut the scallion into 2 cm long strips; cut the ginger and garlic into slices. Wash the dried chili, remove the stem, and cut into strips. Clean the rehydrated wood ear mushroom and tear into small pieces.

Mix the slurry

In a small bowl, combine 15 g soy sauce, 1 g salt, 50 g starch, and a small amount of chicken broth to make a slurry.

Stir-fry

Heat a clean wok until hot, add the sesame oil, and heat to about 70% hot. Add the pork slices, spread them out, then add the ginger, garlic, scallion, chili sauce, and cucumber slices. Stir-fry briefly, pour in the slurry, cook until the sauce is done, then remove from the wok, plate, and serve.
