Preparation:

Marinate the cut meat in the soy, wine and ginger. Mix well and let sit for 15 minutes. Drain the marinade well and separate the meat into individual pieces. In a wok of deep pan heat the oil for deep frying to 375F. Add the meat all at once and stir a bit to separate. Remove after one minute and drain the meat in a colander. Heat the wok again and add the oil for chowing. Add the garlic and green onions and chow for just a moment. Add the drained meat and all remaining ingredients, using plenty of black pepper. Chow until the meat is hot, and serve.
