Instructions
Heat the wok over high heat until lightly smoking.
Add 1 tablespoon oil and swirl to coat.
Add the zucchini and stir-fry until the vegetable is tender but not mushy, 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove from the wok and set aside.
Add remaining four tablespoons oil to wok and place over high heat.
Add the pork and stir-fry until the meat has lost much of its moisture and is stringy around the edges, 5 to 8 minutes (reduce heat if pork or oil is smoking excessively).
Carefully pour off all but two tablespoons of the oil in the wok. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
Add the chilis, scallions, and Sichuan peppercorns, and stir-fry until they begin to release their fragrance, about 20 seconds.
Add the chili bean paste and stir-fry vigorously to coat the meat, about 20 seconds longer.
Add the rice wine and soy sauce.
Add salt to taste, about 1/2 teaspoon.
Keep stirring the pork over medium-low heat, until the surface of the meat is dry and browned but the interior is still tender, about 5 more minutes.
Return the zucchini to the pan and stir fry until vegetables are coated in seasonings, about 1 minute.
Remove from the heat, stir in the oil(s), and serve immediately.
