MOO SHU PORK LETTUCE WRAPS

Steps:

• Cut pork into 1/4-inch slices. Then cut each slice into 1/4-inch strips. Cut the strips in half, if need be - you want them to be about 1½ inches by ¼ inch.
• Mix the marinade ingredients in a bowl: soy sauce (2 tablespoons), sherry (2 tablespoons), sugar (2 teaspoons) and cornstarch (2 teaspoons). Toss with the pork. Cover or seal with plastic wrap and set aside for 30 minutes at room temperature or store in the fridge up to 24 hours. (Let it sit out at room temp for 30 minutes before stir-frying).
• Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in a wok, cast iron or non-stick skillet until hot, but not smoking. Pour in the eggs. Let them set for 10-15 seconds. Tilt the pan or use a spatula to push the cooked part aside and let the wet part slide out onto the hot pan. Cook another 10 seconds or so. Flip to cook the other side for just a few seconds. Quickly transfer eggs to a plate. Cut into strips and set aside.
• Add garlic, ginger and shiitake mushrooms to the oil left in the hot pan. Cook over medium high heat, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes, until mushrooms soften. Add cabbage and 1 teaspoons salt, and stir-fry for 3 minutes or so, until cabbage is just wilted. Scrape everything into a large bowl and set aside.
• Add the 2 remaining tablespoons of oil to the pan. Let the oil heat up a little. Add the pork and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes just until it loses all of its pink color. Add the scallions and stir-fry with the pork for a minute more, until they release their flavor. Add cabbage mixture and eggs back to the pan. Sprinkle on 3 tablespoons soy sauce and 3 tablespoons sherry. Toss everything together for a minute to heat. Serve hot with lettuce cups and hoisin sauce to spoon on top.

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.
