Spicy Fried Minced Pork with Sichuan Chilli Oil

Ingredients: 

Ingredients A:
300g minced pork -- a little fat is good, otherwise it will be dry
1 tbsp water -- or stock if you have it
1/8 tsp ground white pepper
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil

2tbsp oil
1 inch ginger -- finely chopped
1 spring onion -- finely chopped

2 tbsp Sichuan Chilli Oil -- with goop / sediment

Put the minced pork in a bowl. Add the remaining items from Ingredients A one at a time, stirring in between.

Heat the oil in a wok. Add the ginger, and stir fry until the fragrance is released. Add the spring onion, and do the same.

Add the minced pork with a large pinch of salt. Break it up into little clumps as it browns.

Serve over hot rice.

Notes: 

I did not have any, but I'd recommend adding some cooking wine -- mirin, sake, Shaoxing -- to the minced pork as part of Ingredients A.
