Moo Shu Pork

===================

Moo shu pork, from the northern Chinese province of Shandong, began appearing in American Chinese restaurants in the late 1960s.

-----------------------------

This Chinese burrito consists of mandarin pancakes filled with a stir-fried mixture of shredded pork, mushrooms, cloud ears, tiger lily buds, scallions, bamboo shoots, Napa cabbage, scrambled eggs and bean thread noodles. Each pancake is first spread with a little hoisin sauce and a few spoonfuls of pork mixture before being wrapped into a burrito like package.

----------------------------

The mandarin pancakes can be made ahead of time and steamed or reheated in aluminum foil in the oven just before serving. They can even be frozen. While this dish is most often made with pork, it can just as easily be made with chicken, beef, lamb or even shrimp. In fact you could also use ham or any leftover meat in your refrigerator. Use your imagination, but try the recipe as written the first time.

--------------------------

In my next hub, I will provide a recipe and directions for making mandarin pancakes that are also used with Peking duck.

Cooking Instructions:

  1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok and lightly brown the ginger, scallions and mushrooms.
  2. Stir-fry the pork until it is no longer pink.
  3. Add the cloud ears, lily buds, cabbage and bamboo shoots and continue cooking until they are heated through.
  4. Stir in the sauce mixture and cook for 30 seconds more.
  5. Finally, add in the eggs and the bean thread noodles and swirl in the sesame seed oil.

Serve hot in a bowl with 4 mandarin pancakes per person and a small bowl of hoisin sauce. Each person spreads a teaspoonful of hoisin sauce on each pancake and 2-3 tablespoons of pork mixture and then rolls it up like you would a burrito. This food is meant to be eaten with your hands.
