Moo Shu Pork

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine sliced pork with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice wine, and cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and swirl to coat. Pour in beaten eggs and scramble until just set. Remove to a plate and set aside.

  3. 3

    Add 1 tablespoon oil to the wok. When smoking hot, add marinated pork in a single layer. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove and set aside with eggs.

  4. 4

    Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to wok. Add ginger and garlic, stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Add cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and wood ear mushrooms. Stir-fry over high heat for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.

  6. 6

    Return pork and eggs to the wok. Add remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, remaining 1 tablespoon rice wine, and green onions. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes.

  7. 7

    Drizzle with sesame oil and season with salt and white pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

  8. 8

    Warm the mandarin pancakes or tortillas according to package directions or steam them briefly.

  9. 9

    To serve, spread hoisin sauce on each pancake, add a portion of the moo shu pork mixture, roll up, and enjoy immediately.

Chef's Note

"This classic Chinese dish is easier than you think and tastes better than takeout—the key is having everything prepped and ready before you start cooking, as the stir-frying happens quickly. Serve family-style with warm pancakes and let everyone build their own, making it a fun, interactive meal that's perfect for weeknight dinners or casual entertaining."
