Add wood ear mushrooms to a medium-sized bowl and hot water to cover. Soak until the mushrooms turn tender throughout, 20 to 30 minutes. Once done, rinse the mushrooms and gently rub them with your fingers to remove any dust. Drain, cut into thin slices, and set aside.

Slice the pork loin into round, 1/8” (4 mm) thick pieces. Stack the slices and further cut into 1/8” (4 mm) thick strips. Add the Shaoxing wine, peanut oil, salt, and white pepper. Mix with your fingers until the wine is fully absorbed. Then add the cornstarch and mix again until evenly coated. Marinate for 15 minutes while preparing the rest of the ingredients.

Combine all the sauce ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Stir to mix well and set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over high heat until hot. Add the marinated pork while separating the pieces, so they do not overlap too much in the pan. Cook without touching until the bottom turns golden. Flip and cook the other side until just cooked. Transfer the pork to a large plate.

Add the carrots, soaked wood ear mushrooms, and bamboo shoots. Cook and stir until the carrots begin to wilt, about 1 minute.

Add the peppers and cooked pork. Stir the sauce to dissolve the cornstarch again and pour it into the pan. Immediately stir everything together until the sauce thickens, 30 seconds or so. Transfer everything to a plate.

Serve hot over steamed rice as a main dish.
