In this variation on Italian piccata, we cook thin strips of pork in a wok. Lemon juice is a critical component of classic pork piccata, but you can't add it to a carbon-steel wok because it will strip the patina. We call for lemon wedges to be served on the side instead.

2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 ½ teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce plus 1 Tbsp., divided
1 teaspoon dry white wine or dry sherry plus 1 Tbsp., divided
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
