MOO SHU PORK



Moo Shu Pork image

This is a popular classic in the Chinese restaurant scene. You can replace the pork with chicken or shrimp, but the original recipe is with pork. My parents say this recipe tastes better than the ones they've had in Canadian Chinese restaurants. Once you get the hang of making it, you'll want to make it often. If you don't want to spend the time making pancakes, you can use soft tortillas to replace. The homemade pancakes are much better though. This dish goes well with hot and sour soup, for a Beijing style meal.

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb pork, julienned
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
1 cup shiitake mushroom, sliced
2 cups white cabbage, shredded
3/4 cup bamboo shoot, julienned (may use canned that have been rinsed well in cold water)
3/4 cup wood ear mushrooms, julienned (rehydrated)
10 dried lily buds
1 cup hoisin sauce
1 -2 tablespoon dry sherry (or splash of sake to taste)
3 eggs, beaten lightly
1 bunch scallion, made into scallion brushes (to make brushes, hold scallion green and with a paring knife, make several vertical slices through w)
4 -6 Chinese pancakes, steamed hot
kosher salt
black pepper (freshly cracked is best)
canola oil or grapeseed oil, to cook

Steps:

  • Rehydrate the wood ears and lily buds a day ahead of time. I usually keep them in a tupperware container in the fridge.
  • In a wok filled with 3 tbsp oil, bring to high temperature and add the pork. Using a strainer, quickly move around the pork and cook until medium rare, only 1 minute. Remove, strain pork and set aside.
  • Leave 2 tablespoons of oil in the wok and return to high heat. Add eggs to hot oil and scramble. Set them aside with cooked pork.
  • With remaining oil in wok, stir fry the garlic, ginger, and shiitake mushrooms until soft, about 2-3 minutes and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Add the cabbage, bamboo shoots, and wood ear mushrooms and continue stir frying 2-3 minutes.
  • Add half of the hoisin-lime and check for flavor.
  • Meanwhile, in a steamer, heat the pancakes until hot.
  • Lay individual pancakes on plates and paint on hoisin-lime sauce with the scallion brushes. Top with Moo-Shu, lay on 2 scallion brushes and roll up.
  • How to make the pancakes.
  • 2 cups unsifted flour.
  • 3/4 cup water.
  • Kadoya sesame oil.
  • Place the flour in a mixing bowl, making a well in the center. Bring water to a boil, then add to the flour. Add additional flour or water as needed to produce a non-sticky dough which can be kneaded. Place the dough on a very lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes. Cover the dough and allow to rest for 30 minutes.
  • At the end of 30 minutes, briefly knead the dough for an additional minute or two. Then, roll the dough into a sausage shape, about 1 1/2-inches in diameter. Measure the cylinder into 16 equal size pieces. Cut and roll each piece into a smooth ball. Moisten fingers with a bit of sesame oil. Flatten each ball out to make a round, biscuit shaped disc. Place the disc on a flat surface and brush top with sesame oil. Similarly, flatten out another ball into a disc of similar diameter and place it atop the first. Roll out this double biscuit into a circle about 6 or 7 inches in diameter. Complete this procedure using the rest of the dough.
  • Heat a skillet, brushing the inside bottom with sesame oil. Add one of the double pancakes and cook 30 seconds. Flip and cook another half minute, taking care that they do not brown. Quickly lift the pancake away from the hot surface and slap it down on the work surface. While the pancake is still warm, peel the double cake apart into two pancakes. Reserve. Repeat until all of the cakes have been completed. Stack in a sheet of foil. Carefully seal the foil with pancakes into a packet and steam 20-30 minutes before use. Serve warm.

EASY MOO SHU PORK STIR-FRY



Easy Moo Shu Pork Stir-Fry image

Moo shu is a sweet and savory stir-fry typically made with pork and thinly sliced cabbage and vegetables. At the table, the mixture is then tucked into thin and chewy pancake wrappers. To make this at home (and make it weeknight-friendly), use storebought flour tortillas and pre-shredded coleslaw mix to save on time and prep work.

MOO SHU PORK



Moo Shu Pork image

This is not your corner takeout's moo shu pork, but it is popular in China, where its northern origins are debated, according to the author Carolyn Phillips. The egg is thought to resemble the flowers of the sweet olive (osmanthus fragrans) shrub, hence its Chinese name, muxi rou, or osmathus blossom pork. The ingredients are stir-fried in batches to cook evenly and retain the vibrancy of the colors. The sauce is intentionally salty, so underseason the stir-fry and add just a dab of sauce to each wheat wrapper.

Categories     dinner, project, main course

Time 45m

Yield 2 to 3 main course servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup sweet bean paste
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons mild rice wine, such as sake
1 teaspoon sugar
4 ounces boneless pork tenderloin (or beef or pressed bean curd)
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup shredded dried wood ear fungus (often sold as "black fungus") or 3 fresh wood ears
1/4 cup dried daylily flowers, or 1 small carrot, peeled and julienned
6 tablespoons toasted sesame oil or peanut or vegetable oil, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 large fresh winter bamboo shoot, peeled, blanched and julienned (or frozen and defrosted, julienned), or 8 ounces mung bean sprouts
2 green onions, trimmed to 1 1/2-inch lengths and cut into thin shreds
8 thin wheat wrappers (see recipe) or 8 soft flour tortillas, warmed
2 green onions, trimmed to 1 1/2-inch lengths and cut into thin shreds

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Heat sesame oil in a wok over medium heat and mix in sweet bean paste. Stir together until smooth and then add soy sauce and sugar. When sauce bubbles, taste and adjust seasoning, then scrape sauce into a small bowl. Rinse out wok.
  • Make the moo shu pork: In a small bowl, mix together rice wine and sugar. Set aside.
  • Slice meat against the grain into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. Cut into batons about 1/8-inch wide. Put batons in a small bowl and toss them with salt. (If using pressed bean curd, cut it into thin julienne before tossing it with salt.)
  • Soak shredded dried wood ear fungus in boiling water until pliable, about 15 minutes, then rinse and drain in colander. (Fresh wood ears should be rinsed before they're trimmed and cut into thin strips.) Meanwhile, if using dried daylily flowers, cover with boiling water and let soak until soft, about 10 minutes, then drain and tear into strips. (Carrots do not need to be soaked.)
  • Place wok over medium heat, and when hot, swirl in 2 tablespoons sesame oil. Toss in garlic and fry until fragrant. Add eggs and scramble them, breaking up large curds into pieces 1/2 inch or smaller. When eggs are barely done, scrape into a large, clean bowl. If any garlic remains in the wok, wipe it out.
  • Raise heat under wok to high. Pour in another 2 tablespoons oil into the hot wok and quickly stir-fry meat until it's browned before scraping it into eggs.
  • Return wok to high heat. Stir-fry bamboo shoots with a little bit more oil as needed, then add wood ears and either the daylily flowers or carrot and cook these until they are barely done before tossing them into the bowl with the meat and eggs. (If you're using bean sprouts in place of bamboo shoots, cook the wood ears and daylily flowers or carrot alone and add them to the bowl with the meat and eggs; then place wok over high heat, swirl in a tiny bit of oil and quickly stir-fry the sprouts until they're just beyond raw but still very crisp before adding them to the bowl with the other cooked ingredients.)
  • Place wok back over high heat, pour in any remaining sesame oil, and add green onions, all of the cooked meat, eggs and vegetables, and the rice wine and sugar mixture. Toss these quickly together for a few seconds, taste and adjust seasoning, and plate in a bowl or on a rimmed platter.
  • Serve hot with the sauce, wheat wrappers and shredded green onions. Have each diner spread about 2 teaspoons sauce down the center of the wrapper, sprinkle on some raw green onions, and pile on about 1/2 cup of the meat mixture. Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper up over the meat mixture, then fold one side over the center before rolling up the rest of the wrapper from the opposite edge. Eat with your hands.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

For pancake dough:
3 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
12 ounces pork butt, trimmed and thinly sliced across grain
4 tablespoons light soy sauce
4 tablespoons Shaohsing rice wine
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 ounce dried Chinese black mushrooms (also known as black fungus or wood ear mushrooms; about 2/3 cup)
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon Asian toasted sesame oil
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
To cook pancakes:
1 tablespoon Asian toasted-sesame oil
2 tablespoons peanut oil
To cook pork:
1/4 cup peanut oil
1 (1/4-inch) piece fresh ginger, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 scallions (white and green parts), thinly sliced on diagonal
8 ounces Napa cabbage, quartered lengthwise, cored, and cut crosswise into 1 1/2-inch triangles (about 5 cups)
4 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded and caps thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 English or kirby cucumber, cut crosswise into 2-inch lengths, then thinly sliced lengthwise (about 1 cup)
1 teaspoon Asian toasted sesame oil
2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Make pancake dough:
  • In large bowl, stir together flour and 1 cup boiling water until water is absorbed. Add 1/2 cup cold water and knead until smooth dough forms. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let rest 1 hour.
  • Prep stir-fry:
  • In large nonreactive bowl, toss together pork, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 3 tablespoons rice wine, pepper, and cornstarch. Let marinate 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine dried black mushrooms and boiling water to cover. Let stand until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, squeezing out excess liquid, rinse to remove any grit, discard stems, and coarsely chop caps. Set aside.
  • In small bowl, stir together remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, remaining 1 tablespoon rice wine, oyster sauce, and sugar. Set aside.
  • In small sauté pan over moderate heat, heat sesame oil until hot but not smoking. Add eggs and scramble until softly set, about 1 minute. Transfer to small bowl and set aside.
  • Cook pancakes:
  • On lightly floured work surface, roll dough into long, even cylinder 1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Using sharp knife, cut cylinder crosswise into about 30 (3/4- to 1-inch) slices. Using rolling pin, roll each slice out to 3 1/2-inch-diameter circle (about 1/8 inch thick). Brush 1 circle with sesame oil and top with 2nd circle. Repeat with remaining circles to form 15 "sandwiches." Roll each "sandwich" out to 6-inch diameter. (Pancakes can be made ahead up to this point and frozen, layered between parchment or waxed paper, up to 1 month.)
  • Heat wok or heavy large sauté pan over moderate heat. Brush pan lightly with peanut oil and cook pancake "sandwiches" in batches until lightly golden, about 3 minutes per side, brushing pan with oil between each batch. Transfer each "sandwich" as done to large plate and immediately peel apart 2 halves. Cover with moist towel while cooking remaining pancakes. Keep warm until ready to serve.
  • Cook stir-fry:
  • In wok or heavy large sauté pan over moderately high heat, heat peanut oil until hot but not smoking. Add ginger, garlic, half of scallions (reserve remainder for garnish), and pork and stir-fry until pork is cooked through and caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add black mushrooms, cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, and cucumber and stir-fry until vegetables are tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add eggs and soy sauce-rice wine-oyster sauce mixture and stir-fry until heated through, about 1 minute.
  • Transfer to serving bowl and garnish with remaining scallions. To serve, divide pork mixture among pancakes and roll up to enclose mixture.

Easy Moo Shu Pork (or Beef) Pockets image

This is my version of Rachael Ray's from the Food Network Channel. I adjusted it to my own taste and availability of ingredients. They are AWESOME! Easy to make and even better the next day! Fantastic for company to football parties! (Old photo by me)

Provided by Kelly Williams

Categories     Beef

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb. raw ground pork (not sausage), can sub ground beef but better with pork
1 (16 oz.) bag shredded cole slaw mix
2 garlic cloves, minced, can use the jarred kind
8 gingersnap cookies, crushed to fine crumb
1/4 cup soy sauce, low sodium
1 Tbl. finely sliced green onion
1 dash cayenne
1 Tbl. vegetable or wok oil
6 large flour tortillas, burrito-sized
hoisin sauce, i only use kikkoman (others i've tried ended up in the garbage)

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.

Time 55m

Yield 4 cups, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup water, boiling
4 teaspoons sesame oil (or cooking oil)
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon sake (may substitute sherry)
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3/4 lb pork tenderloin, cut into 1/4 inch strips (6mm)

2/3 cup bamboo shoot, cut into matchsticks
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons hoisin sauce (to spread on pancakes)

Steps:

  • Mandarin Pancakes: Combine Flour and boiling water in medium bowl. Mix until a soft ball is formed. Add more flour if dough is too sticky to handle. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5 to 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with plastic wrap. Let stand for 20 minutes. Divide dough into 16 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball. Flatten into 4 inch (10 cm) circles.
  • Brush top of 1 circle with sesame oil. Place another circle on top. Roll into 6 inch (15 cm) circle on lightly floured surface. Repeat with remaining circles. Keep covered with plastic wrap to prevent drying out. Heat non-stick frying pan until hot. Cook double pancakes, 1 at a time, for about 30 seconds until a few brown spots appear. Turn over. Cook for 30 seconds. Do not overcook or they will become brittle. Separate into 2 pancakes while still hot. Fold each in half and set on greased plate or tray. Cover. To serve, steam for about 5 minutes or cover individual pancakes with damp paper towel and microwave on high for 10 to 20 seconds until warm and soft. Makes 16 pancakes.
  • Marinade: Combine water, cornstarch, soy sauce, sugar, sake, and pepper in medium bowl. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
  • Add pork. Stir 2 or 3 times. Marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  • Remaining: Cover mushrooms with boiling water in small bowl. Let stand for 20 minutes until softened. Rinse, drain and squeeze dry. Discard stems. Cut caps into matchsticks, and set aside.
  • Fork-beat eggs, salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Pour into greased frying pan. Scramble-fry until chunky but still moist. Turn out onto plate. Break up larger pieces.
  • Heat wok until very hot. Add cooking oil and pork strips, discarding marinade. Stir-fry for 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, suey choy, ginger, garlic, green onion, bamboo shoots and second amount of soy sauce. Stir-fry for 3 minutes. Add egg mixture. Cook until heated through.
  • Lightly brush mandarin pancakes with hoisin sauce on 1 side. Place 1/4 cup pork mixture in center of each pancake. Fold up, envelope-style.
