1. 1
   Prepare the pork by cutting it into equal-sized pieces and then slicing into strips. Marinate with a pinch of salt, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp white pepper, 5ml soy sauce, and 10ml rice wine, massaging until well combined. Add cornstarch slurry to keep the meat tender, finish with a drizzle of sesame oil, and refrigerate.
