FOR VINAIGRETTE

Trim ends of zucchini and halve lengthwise. Cut each half crosswise into 3-inch sections and cut each section lengthwise into ¼-inch-thick slices.

Make vinaigrette: in a small saucepan heat oil until it just begins to smoke and add red pepper flakes. Cover pan and remove from heat. Let mixture stand 3 minutes and stir in remaining vinaigrette ingredients, stirring until sugar is dissolved.

Heat a deep wok or deep 12-inch skillet over high heat until hot and add oil. Heat oil until it begins to smoke and stir-fry ginger until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add squash with wine and stir-fry until crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add vinaigrette and coriander and stir-fry 30 seconds.

Transfer the mixture to a serving dish.

Serve warm, room temperature, or chilled.
