Shred the pork: cut into thin slices, then stack them up one on top of the other, and cut across into shreds. Add the soy sauce and the cornstarch/water paste to the shredded pork.

Heat the wok and add 3 tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, add the ginger and stir-fry until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add the pork shreds. Stir-fry until they turn white and are nearly cooked. Remove from the wok.
Add 2 tablespoons oil to the wok. When the oil is hot, add the garlic and hot bean paste. Stir-fry until aromatic, then add the water chestnuts. Stir-fry for 2 minutes, then add the wood ears and the lily buds. Stir fry for 2 more minutes, then push up to the sides. Re-stir the sauce and add in the middle of the wok. Bring to a boil. Add the pork shreds back into the pan. Stir in the green onion. Heat through, remove from the heat and stir in the green onion. Serve hot.
