Moo Shu Pork for Two with Crispy Pancakes and Mushrooms
Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon cooking oil
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 5 ounces pork tenderloin, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 dash salt
  • 1 dash ground black pepper
  • 1 dash ground Sichuan pepper
  • 1/2 ounce dried cloud ear mushrooms
  • 1 ounce bean thread noodles
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 bunch scallions, cut into 3/4-inch lengths
  • 1/3 cup shredded napa cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sake
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 8 frozen Chinese moo shu pancakes, thawed and warmed
Instructions
1
Preheat your cooking surface by heating a small amount of oil in a square Japanese-style pan or compact skillet over an intermediate heat setting.
2
Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan and distribute it uniformly across the surface. Allow it to reach a nearly cooked state, taking approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
3
Transfer the egg mixture to a flat surface lined with paper towels, allowing it to cool down.
4
Prepare the protein component by sprinkling it liberally with salt, black pepper, and Sichuan peppercorns. Set the seasoned pork aside.
5
Submerge cloud ear mushrooms in a container filled with warm water, allowing them to rehydrate and soften for about 5 minutes.
6
Meanwhile, soak noodles in a separate container filled with warm water, also taking about 5 minutes to rehydrate and soften.
7
Once the mushrooms have finished soaking, remove them from the water and slice them into thin strips.
8
Do the same for the noodles, cutting them into shorter lengths after they have been drained.
9
Heat a small amount of sesame oil in a frying pan or wok over an intermediate heat setting.
10
Add the seasoned pork to the hot oil and stir-fry until it changes color, taking approximately 3 minutes.
11
Add the rehydrated mushrooms and noodles to the pan and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly.
12
Swirl in a mixture of oyster sauce and soy sauce to coat the ingredients evenly, taking about 1 minute more.
13
Transfer the stir-fry mixture to a small serving plate.
14
Arrange scallions, cabbage, and cooked egg in individual serving dishes.
15
Combine hoisin sauce, minced ginger, sake, soy sauce, and garlic in a small bowl to create the sauce.
16
Warm moo shu pancakes by placing them on a microwave-safe plate and heating in the microwave for about 45 seconds.
17
Position moo shu pancakes in the center of a table, surrounded by meat, vegetables, and sauce.
18
Moo shu eating style involves taking a pancake in your hand, spreading the inner side with sauce, then adding pork mixture, egg, and vegetables as desired, wrapping it up, and eating.
