Steps:
- 1. In large bowl, combine pork, 1 1/2 cups of cabbage (chop a little smaller), garlic, gingersnap crumbs, soy sauce, scallions and cayenne. Mix well with your hands. Form into 6 small, thick patties. In fry pan, heat oil over med-high heat and cook patties for about 5 minutes on each side, will be pretty well browned on both sides. While patties are cooking, mix about 2 1/2 cups cabbage mix and a bit more sliced green onions. Warm tortillas in microwave, and thinly spread one side all over with a nice spoonful of Hoisin sauce to THINLY coat whole tortilla clear to edges. Place a small handful of cabbage mixture in center of each tortilla. Place a cooked patty on top, fold over sides, then far side and close side, overlapping and sealing with a dab of hoisin if needed, sealing making a nice "package". Place seam-side down, continue til all are wrapped. Slice in half with SHARP knife going down across folded side and serve with white or fried rice! These are to DIE for, and even better the next day! Only assemble what is going to be eaten, reheat patties the next day for leftovers.
- 2. *If you don't see any ground pork in the meat case, just pick out a package of boneless pork loin chops and ask the meat man/butcher to grind it for you. They are always happy to do so.
Tips:
- Slice the meat thinly: This will help it cook quickly and evenly.
- Marinate the meat for at least 30 minutes: This will help tenderize it and add flavor.
- Use a large skillet or wok: This will give you plenty of room to stir-fry the ingredients.
- Cook the ingredients over high heat: This will help keep the vegetables crisp and prevent the meat from overcooking.
- Stir-fry the ingredients in batches: This will help prevent them from overcrowding the pan and steaming instead of stir-frying.
- Add the sauce at the end of cooking: This will help prevent it from burning.
- Serve the moo shu pork immediately: This is a dish that is best enjoyed hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Moo shu pork is a delicious and versatile dish that can be easily made at home. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a delicious and healthy meal on the table in no time.
