## Steps

1. Soak black fungus, dried lily flowers and shiitake mushrooms night before (unless you are using fresh ones)  Black fungus and dried lily flowers only need 30 minutes of soaking.  Shiitake mushrooms, depending on their size and thickness may need 1-6 hours of soaking.  I usually just soak everything overnight
2. Prepare 2 pieces of ginger.  You can leave it whole, minced or julienned.  I leave it whole so I can easily fish it out at the end
3. Julienne pork belly, carrots, black fungus, bamboo shoots and shiitake mushrooms I didn’t add bamboo shoots because I’m not a fan but it is a traditional ingredient in this dish
4. Marinate pork belly and shiitake mushrooms separately in 1 tsp light soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch respectively.  Mix well and add 1 tsp of oil to each and mix again.  Marinate for 15 minutes  Marinating shiitake mushrooms can add a lot of overall flavour
5. Boil a pot of water.  When water comes to a boil, blanche bamboo shoots, black fungus, carrots, dried lily flowers for 3 minutes.  Remove from water and let it cool in a colander.  You can use this water to blanche the spinach in step 6
6. Wash spinach and blanche in boiling water for 30 seconds.  Drain water in a colander.  After cooling, squeeze out water and cut into approx. 6cm pieces.  Set aside
7. Wash soaked lily flowers and squeeze out water.  Cut off the hard end, if any, and cut in half
8. Peel (optional) and slice cucumbers and set aside
9. Beat 4 eggs
10. Heat wok to medium-high heat, add 2 tbsp oil, add eggs.  Press down on the egg with a spatula while stirring so that the eggs break apart into small pieces.  Remove the egg from the wok and set aside
11. Add 2 tbsp oil to the wok, put the heat on high
12. Add pork belly to the wok.  Arrange in single layer and let it sit for 1 minute.  Flip it over and let it sit for another minute.  Stir-fry for 30 seconds and remove from the wok.  Leave the oil in the wok
13. Add ginger to the wok.  After they turn golden colour, add shiitake mushrooms and stir-fry for 30 seconds
14. Add the pork back into the wok and stir-fry together for 30 seconds to allow the wok to get hot again before adding the blanched carrots, black fungus, bamboo shoots and lily flowers.  Stir-fry for 2 minutes
15. Add 2 tbsp Shaoxing wine around the side of the wok.  Add 1 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tbsp	dark soy sauce, 2 tsp sugar and ½ tsp white pepper powder.  Stir-fry for 1 minute until everything is well mixed
16. Add spinach.  Stir-fry for one minute
17. Add egg.  Stir-fry for another minute until everything is piping hot.  Turn off heat and add 1 tsp of sesame oil.
18. Put onto serving plate and arrange cucumbers around the plate
19. Serve with Mandarin pancakes and Hoisin sauce
