I always order moo shu pork in Chinese restaurants and wanted to try making it at home using a combination of recipes. You can find Chinese pancakes at Asian grocery stores. Let everyone fill their own pancakes and top with the hoisin sauce mixture — it absolutely makes this dish!

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons white wine
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 pound pork tenderloin , cut into thin strips
  • 1.75 ounces dried shiitake mushrooms
  • 0.5 cups sliced green onions
  • 3 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons peeled and minced fresh ginger
  • 1 head napa cabbage
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons white wine
  • 0.5 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 0.5 teaspoons white sugar
  • 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil , plus more if needed
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 large eggs , beaten
  • 2 tablespoons white wine
  • 1 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 16 frozens Chinese pancakes , thawed and warmed

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Place 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of white wine, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and 2 teaspoons of cornstarch in a non-reactive bowl; stir until smooth. Stir pork into marinade until thoroughly coated; refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, pour hot water over mushrooms in a bowl; set aside to soften for 15 to 20 minutes. Drain mushrooms; pat dry, remove any hard stem pieces, and finely chop. Combine mushrooms, green onions, garlic, and ginger in a bowl; set aside.

  4. 4

    Remove outer leaves from napa cabbage; tear green leafy portions from the central stalks of the leaves. Slice stalks into thin 1-inch pieces. Finely chop green leafy portions, and set aside the sliced stems and chopped leaves in separate bowls.

  5. 5

    Combine 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of white wine, 1/2 teaspoon of cornstarch, sugar, and ground black pepper in a small bowl; set aside.

  6. 6

    Heat vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add marinated pork; cook and stir until cooked through and edges have begun to brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer pork to a bowl.

  7. 7

    Pour beaten eggs into the hot wok, adding more vegetable oil if necessary; cook and stir until eggs are scrambled, firm, and well-broken up, about 2 minutes. Stir in mushroom mixture; cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes. Add napa cabbage stem pieces; cook and stir until hot but still crunchy, about 1 minute. Add chopped cabbage leaves and 2 tablespoons of white wine; cook and stir until hot, about 1 minute. Add cooked pork and reserved cornstarch mixture. Stir everything together until slightly thickened and hot, about 2 minutes.

  8. 8

    Mix hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil in a small bowl until thoroughly combined.

  9. 9

    To serve, spread about 1 tablespoon of hoisin mixture on each pancake, top with about 1/2 cup of the pork mixture, roll, and serve.
