Trim the fat and any silver skin from the pork loin. Slice into ½-inch strips and place in a bowl. When all the meat is sliced, whisk together the rice wine and salt and pour it over the meat, mixing well to make sure each strip of pork is coated. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the ingredients for the sauce. Whisk together the salt, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Set aside.

In a deep pan, heat several inches of peanut oil until very hot and shimmering. While the oil is heating, beat the eggs for the batter and stir in the cornstarch until it’s smooth and no lumps remain. Add the marinated pork to the batter and stir to coat. Once the oil is hot, drop the coated pork strips into the oil one at a time. Don’t crowd the pan and stir slightly to make sure the pieces don’t stick together. Fry until golden brown. Remove from the oil and place on a plate. Keep warm in a low oven as you fry the remaining batches of pork.

When all the pork has been fried, make the sauce. In a wok, heat the 3 tablespoons of peanut oil until shimmering, then add the garlic and ginger. Stir for about 30 seconds, then add the stock. Bring it to a boil and then stir in the reserved sauce ingredients. Stir until the sauce is thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the scallions and sesame oil.

Pour the sauce over the pork strips and serve immediately.
