   Slice the pork across the grain into very thin slices and cut into bite
   sized pieces.  Place in a dish with the #1 seasoning ingredients. Mix well
   and leave for 20 minutes.
    Drain the Wood Ears, and chop finely. Wash and dry the spinach leaves and
   chop coarsely.  Heat a wok, or large skillet and add the lard and frying
   oil. Stir-fry the spring onion, garlic and chili peppers together for one
   minute, then add the Wood Ears and spinach and stir-fry briefly. Push to
   one side of the pan and add the sliced pork. Fry on both sides until
   lightly colored, then stir in the other ingredients and continue to
   stir-fry until the pork is almost cooked, about 1 1/4 minutes.
    Pour in the pre-mixed #2 seasoning ingredients and simmer until the sauce
   has thickened.  Add a dash of salt to taste, and serve. Steamed rice a
   MUST.
