Yield:  Serves 6-8
The Chinese do not really consider cellophane noodles as a "staple." Made of green mung bean starch, they are usually used as an interesting ingredient to accompany meats or other vegetables in a normal "rice meal." They are popular throughout China, Southeast Asia and Japan.

2 slices fresh ginger, cut 1/4 inch thick
4 oz pork fillet, shredded into 2-inch lengths
2 teaspoons Chinese Shaoxing rice wine (available at Chinese stores) or dry sherry
6 cups Family Chicken broth
6 dried mushrooms (available at Chinese stores), soaked for 45 minutes, stalks removed and thinly sliced
1/2 cup carrot, cut into 1/4-inch  thick julienne
1 cup  zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch thick julienne
1 1/2 tablespoons preserved mustard greens (mui choi) or Sichuan preserved vegetables (jar choi) (available at Chinese stores), shredded (optional)
1 oz cellophane noodles (fun si), soaked for 30 minutes in warm water and cut into 6-inch  lengths
