1. 1

   Cut the pork into small cubes.

2. 2

   Put the flour into a bowl and add the clear soya sauce and ginger powder, mixing them well together.

3. 3

   Clean and slice the mushrooms.

4. 4

   Peel the garlic and ginger and slice them very thin; you can use these thin slices as they are, or cut them again into very tiny sticks.

5. 5

   Heat the oil or fat in a wok or thick frying pan and fry the meat, half of it at a time, turning it from time to time, for 5 minutes.

6. 6

   Repeat the process for the remaining half of the meat.

7. 7

   The flour that coated the meat will tend to stay in the pan or stick to the bottom of it, but leave it there-it will thicken the sauce later.

8. 8

   Now take most of the oil out of the pan, leaving only about two tablespoons which you then heat again.

9. 9

   Add the soya sauce, the water and the meat. mix well, season with pepper or chilli powder, and stir continuously for 1 or 2 minutes. just before serving, add the sherry or rice wine and the lemon juice.

10. 10

    Serve hot.

11. 11

    To serve from the freezer, thaw the meat out completely and heat quickly on a high flame for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring or shaking the pan well all the time.

12. 12

    Add the sherry or rice wine and lemon juice just before serving.
