Healthy Moo Shu Pork Recipes

MOO SHU PORK

Steps:

• First, combine the pork with the marinade ingredients and set aside for 20-30 minutes.
• Then cook the eggs. Whisk together the eggs with the rice wine and salt. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok over high heat. Add the beaten eggs, scramble, and turn off the heat. Dish out the cooked eggs and set aside.
• Heat the wok over high heat once again, and add 2 tablespoons of oil. When the oil starts to smoke, add the pork and sear the meat until lightly browned. Then add the chopped scallion and stir.
• Next, add the sliced cucumbers and wood ear mushrooms. Stir fry to thoroughly combine the ingredients. Now it's time to add the Shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, oyster sauce and water.
• Stir fry everything well for an additional 30 seconds. Finally add the cooked eggs, stir-fry for another 30 seconds, and serve!

MOO SHU PORK (木须肉)

Steps:

• Submerge the wood ear fungus in a bowl of water for 5-15 minutes.
• Now, we'll cut our lean pork into thin slices, and then into thin strips.
• As we did with the pork, we'll be cutting our cabbage, celery, and carrots into thin slices, and then into thin strips.
• Crack your eggs into a bowl and add a little bit of salt (to taste). Mix with your fork until bubbles form.
• As with most Chinese recipes, we need our wok to be really hot before cooking. Set the stove to high heat and heat the wok for 3-5 minutes. When it's ready, it should just be starting to let off a little bit of steam/smoke.
• Add more canola oil to the wok, and wait about 1-2 minutes for the wok to heat up again.
• Since there's already oil in the wok, we don't need to add any more oil.
• Since a lot of the taste comes from hoisin sauce, we don't need to add too much flavoring to the vegetables themselves.
• Almost there! We just need to cut our eggs into slices, and warm up our tortillas.

EASY MOO SHU PORK

Steps:

• Mix soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic in a bowl until marinade is smooth; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add pork, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator, 1 hour to overnight.
• Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add cabbage and carrot; cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes. Push cabbage mixture aside and add pork with marinade to middle of the skillet. Cook and stir until pork is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Draw cabbage into the center of the skillet; cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
