Directions
Cut the pork into 3-inch thin slices and combine with the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice wine, salt and sesame oil.
Cut the chiles in half lengthwise and seed them.
Heat a wok or large sauté pan until it is hot.
Add 1½ tablespoons of peanut oil and the pork, and stir-fry for 1 minute.
Remove the pork with a slotted spoon. Reheat the wok and add the remaining oil.
When it is very hot, add the fresh chiles, garlic, chili powder or cayenne and peppercorns, and stir-fry for 30 seconds, then add the water, 1 tablespoon rice wine, soy sauce and sugar, and cook for another 30 seconds.
Return the meat to the wok and heat through. Give the mixture several good stirs, turn onto a platter, and serve.
Serves 4 as part of a chinese meal or 2 as a single dish.
