- 1 pound pork tenderloin, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil

- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms

Instructions
Let’s get started! Below is a step-by-step guide to bringing this dish to life, with a few personal tips to ensure your cooking experience is as smooth as possible.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced pork and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add garlic and ginger, stirring until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the cabbage, mushrooms, and carrots to the pan. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
- Return the cooked pork to the pan. Pour in the sauce mixture and toss everything together until well coated and heated through.
- Warm your tortillas or pancakes in the microwave or a dry skillet until soft.
- Serve the Moo Shu Pork with the warm tortillas or pancakes on the side. Let everyone fill and roll their own for a fun, interactive meal!
Remember, the secret to perfect stir-frying is high heat and quick, consistent stirring. If your pan feels crowded, cook in batches to ensure everything gets that nice sear.
