Ingredients
Instructions
Coating the pork
Toss the shredded pork with the egg white, 1.5 g fine salt, and 20 g wet starch until evenly coated and slightly sticky.
Sliding-stirring the pork
Set a wok over medium heat, add the oil, and heat to roughly 30% hot (about 66°C). Add the coated pork shreds and gently pull them apart so they separate. When they turn a pale jade white, pour them into a strainer to drain off the oil.
Stir-frying and thickening
Leave 15 g of oil in the wok, add the scallion and ginger, and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the bamboo shoot shreds, then pour in the Shaoxing wine, MSG, and 1 g fine salt. Thicken with 5 g wet starch, return the pork shreds to the wok, and toss to combine. Drizzle 15 g of rendered pork fat over the top and serve immediately.
