Moo Shu Pork
Description
This Moo Shu Pork recipe begins by marinating thinly sliced pork in a sauce containing hoisin, soy, oyster sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and aromatics to infuse flavor and tenderize. Separately, eggs are cooked into a thin omelet and chopped. Pork is then stir-fried over high heat until browned and tender. The same pan is used to quickly cook a mixture of coleslaw mix and shiitake mushrooms until just softened. The pork, eggs, and vegetables are combined, then garnished with scallions and sesame seeds.
The combination yields a savory and slightly sweet dish with varied textures, from tender meat to crunchy cabbage and earthy mushrooms. The pancakes or lettuce leaves provide a soft wrapper to enjoy the filling, often finished with a drizzle of hoisin sauce.
This dish is designed for assembly at the table, allowing diners to customize wraps according to taste, fitting well as a casual main course or appetizer.

Instructions
Marinade:
- Add all ingredients to a medium bowl and stir until combined. Divide the marinade into two equal portions.
Moo Shu Pork:
- Add the thinly sliced pork (chicken or shrimp) to half of the marinade, and toss until evenly coated. Set aside for 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, place a large saute pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil.
- Add the whisked eggs, and let them sit and until they are cooked into an omelet.
- Transfer the eggs to a cutting board, and set them aside. Once slightly cooled, chop the omelet into small, thin pieces.
- Return the pan to the stove, and increase heat to high heat.
- Add 2 more tablespoons of oil, and using a pair of tongs lift the meat out of the marinade and transfer it to the pan into one layer. Discard the marinade.
- Cook the pork until tender, and nicely browned, about 4-5 minutes. Then transfer to a separate plate, and set aside.
- Add the remaining oil to the pan, along with the coleslaw, mushrooms, and half of the scallions. Saute for 2-3 minutes, or until the coleslaw begins to soften.
- Add the reserved marinade, and toss to combine, cook 2-3 more minutes.
- Stir in the cooked pork and chopped eggs, and toss until combined. Taste and adjust for salt, pepper, and hoisin sauce. Sprinkle with the remaining green onions.
- Serve immediately with flour tortillas, or lettuce cups, and rice on the side.
