This zucchini and glass noodles stir-fry is a quick, savory dish with tender pork, silky mung bean noodles, and a light soy-based sauce. It comes together fast in one pan, making it a great choice for a simple weeknight dinner with plenty of flavor.
In a medium bowl, mix the ground pork with the water, Shaoxing wine, and cornstarch until evenly combined. Let it sit while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
Soak the dried mung bean vermicelli in water for 10 minutes, then drain well. In a separate bowl or measuring cup, stir together the chicken stock, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, sugar, and dark soy sauce until the sugar dissolves.
Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add the ginger and the white parts of the scallions, and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Raise the heat to high. Add the pork mixture and garlic, breaking up the meat with a spatula. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until the pork is mostly cooked through and no longer pink.
Add the zucchini and toss for about 30 seconds to coat it in the aromatics. Pour in the prepared stock mixture and bring to a simmer, then add the drained glass noodles.
Simmer uncovered for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender, the sauce has reduced slightly, and the zucchini is just tender. Stir in the green parts of the scallions and serve right away.
Do not oversoak the glass noodles or they can turn too soft in the pan. Dry sherry can replace Shaoxing wine if needed. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though the noodles will absorb more sauce as they sit.
