The Moo Shu Pork My Dad's Made 100,000 Times

Learn how to make Moo Shu Pork from a 2x James Beard Award Winning Chinese Chef with 60+ years of experience
Ingredients
- 1 oz rehydrated wood ear fungus
- 8 oz cabbage
- 2 oz lean pork
- 2 oz carrot
- 2 oz celery
- 2 egg
- 8 flour tortillas
- salt
- 1.5 tsp cornstarch
- 0.5 tsp water
- 0.25 tsp salt
- hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp canola oil
- 0.5 tsp chicken bouillon
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
Instructions
- 1
Rehydrate wood ear fungus: The first step is to give those dried wood ear fungi some life! Submerge the wood ear fungus in a bowl of water for 5-15 minutes.
- 2
Prepare pork: Now, we'll cut our lean pork into thin slices, and then into thin strips.
- 3
Cut vegetables: As we did with the pork, we'll be cutting our cabbage, celery, and carrots into thin slices, and then into thin strips.
- 4
Prepare eggs: Crack your eggs into a bowl and add a little bit of salt (to taste). Beat with your fork until bubbles form.
- 5
Heat wok, cook eggs: 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.
- 6
Reheat wok, add oil, cook pork: Add more canola oil to the wok, and wait about 1-2 minutes for the wok to heat up again.
- 7
Cook vegetables: Since there's already oil in the wok, we don't need to add any more oil.
- 8
Add flavors, pork: Since a lot of the taste comes from hoisin sauce, we don't need to add too much flavoring to the vegetables themselves.
- 9
Prepare the Moo Shu Pork wraps: Almost there! We just need to cut our eggs into slices, and warm up our tortillas.
