Moo Shu Pork Recipe

Recipe Directions

For the Moo Shu Pork:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced pork and cook until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add the sliced onion, shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, sliced mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and water chestnuts to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5-6 minutes.
5. Return the cooked pork to the skillet and pour the sauce over the pork and vegetables. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened and coats the pork and vegetables evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
