Step 1
Slice the pork loin 'against the grain' into thin slices, then cut them into bite-sized shreds.
Step 2
Crush the scallions and ginger, add a little water, and squeeze firmly with your hand to extract the juices, creating scallion-ginger water.
Step 3
Marinate the pork shreds. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, sugar, white pepper, and rice wine to the pork, then pour in the scallion-ginger water and massage by hand until the liquid is absorbed.
Step 4
Once the pork shreds are plump from absorbing the moisture, discard any excess water, add a little cornstarch (or potato starch), and mix well to seal in the juices.
Step 5
Heat a wok with oil. When the oil is just warm, add the pork shreds, separate them quickly with chopsticks, and remove immediately once cooked through.

Important Notes
Pork loin has less fat and can easily become dry; always slice 'against the grain' to break the fibers for a more tender texture. 💡
A key secret to preventing dry meat is to add scallion-ginger water during marination and massage it in by hand until the pork has fully absorbed the moisture. ⚠️
When velveting in oil, do not let the oil get too hot; keep it at a low temperature, stir quickly to separate, and remove immediately once cooked to prevent the meat from toughening. 🍳
