Note

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a wok or skillet with a splash of water to restore moisture.

Substitutions: You can substitute ground chicken or beef for the pork. If you cannot find dried wood ear mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms work well as an alternative, though the texture will be slightly different.

Preparation Tip: Ensure the wood ear mushrooms are thoroughly rinsed after soaking to remove any grit. Glass noodles absorb liquid quickly, so do not over-soak them or they may become mushy when cooked.

Variations: Add a splash of soy sauce or fish sauce for extra umami depth. For a creamier texture, stir in a spoonful of peanut butter or sesame paste at the end of cooking.
