Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Chop the pork into small coarse bits. In a small bowl, combine it with the rice wine, 1 teaspoon of the soy sauce, sesame oil and cornstarch.

  2. Step 2

    Wash the sprouts in cold running water, picking out any wilted pieces or darkened sprouts. Drain well.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a wok or large saute pan until it is hot. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and the ginger pieces. When the ginger has browned, remove it with a slotted spoon. Put in the pork and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Remove the pork with a slotted spoon.

  4. Step 4

    Reheat the wok and add the remaining oil. When the oil is very hot, add the shrimp paste and stir-fry it for 10 seconds. Then add the sprouts and the remaining 2 teaspoons of soy sauce. Continue to stir-fry for 4 minutes. Return the pork to the wok and mix very well with the sauce, continuously stir-frying for another minute. Give the mixture several good stirs, turn onto a platter and serve.
