Cut the pork loin into thin shreds. Place in a bowl, add a pinch of salt, 1 tablespoon cooking wine, 1 tablespoon light soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch, a pinch of white pepper, and 1 tablespoon water. Mix well and marinate for 10 minutes.
Remove seeds and ribs from green peppers, cut into thin shreds similar to the pork.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon light soy sauce, 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons water. Stir to combine as the sauce.
Heat the wok over high heat, add 2 tablespoons oil until smoking. Add the marinated pork, quickly stir-fry until it turns white (about 30 seconds). Remove and set aside.
Leave a little oil in the wok, add minced garlic and ginger over medium heat, stir-fry until fragrant (about 20 seconds).
Turn to high heat, add green pepper shreds, stir-fry quickly for about 1 minute until the peppers become bright and slightly soft.
Return the cooked pork to the wok. Stir-fry together on high heat for about 30 seconds.
Pour the sauce along the edge of the wok. Stir-fry rapidly for about 15 seconds until the sauce evenly coats the meat and peppers. Turn off the heat.
Tips
Add a little water when marinating the pork to keep it moist and tender. Always stir-fry over high heat to seal in flavor.
