Moo Shu Pork
Ingredients
- 1 lbs pork tenderloin, country ribs, whatever you have, diced into 1/2″ long thin strips
- 2 tbs sriracha sauce
- 2 tbs vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 8 oz shiitake mushrooms stemmed and sliced
- 1 tbs fresh ginger grated
- 1/2 head cabbage sliced thin
- 1 carrot julienned
- 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tbs dry sherry
- 3 scallions green parts only, diced
- tortillas for serving heated
Instructions
- Pat the diced pork with a paper towel to dry. With your hands, toss the pork in a bowl with the sriracha sauce. Set aside.
- Heat a large wok over medium-high heat. Add the oil and allow to heat until just smoking. Cook the pork 3 to 5 minutes, stirring to cook all sides, until no longer pink. Remove from wok and tent with foil.
- Meanwhile, cook the egg until scrambled and set. Set atop the pork and cover again with foil.
- Add the mushrooms, remaining oil, and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ginger, cabbage and carrot. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring to evenly spread the love. Add the pork and egg, along with any juices, back to the wok.
- Whisk the hoisin and sherry together in a small bowl. Pour over the stir-fry and toss to coat.
- Remove from heat and add in the scallions.
- Serve with tortillas and additional hoisin and sriracha sauce if desired.

Again with the drool-worthy dish. I’m all about easy weeknight dishes and usually do have leftover pork after roasting up a loin so this is perfect. (I will be going the rice route, however). 🙂
