Directions
Cut the pork into thin slices, ⅛ inch-by-3-inches long.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the pork with soy sauces, rice wine, sesame oil and cornstarch and set aside.
Peel the cucumbers, split them in half, and with a spoon, scoop out the seeds.
Then finely slice the cucumber.
Heat a wok or large sauté pan until it is hot.
Add the oil, then chili bean sauce, garlic, Sichuan peppercorns, chili flakes and salt, and stir-fry for 10 seconds.
Then add the pork; stir-fry 1 minute. Add cucumbers; stir-fry for 1 minute.
Pour in soy sauce, wine, vinegar and sugar. Stir-fry 2 minutes, or until all the liquid has evaporated.
Serve at once.
