• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 dash ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 dash salt
• 1 clove garlic, grated
• 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon cooking oil
• 5 ounces pork tenderloin, sliced into thin strips
• 1 dash ground Sichuan pepper
• ½ ounce dried cloud ear mushrooms

• ⅓ cup shredded napa cabbage

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat cooking oil in a square Japanese omelet pan or small skillet over medium heat. Pour beaten egg into the skillet and spread evenly. Cook until just set, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board lined with a paper towel to cool.

Step 2

Sprinkle pork with salt, black pepper, and Sichuan pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

Place cloud ear mushrooms in a bowl and cover with warm water. Place noodles in a separate bowl and cover with warm water. Let mushrooms and noodles soak until reconstituted and soft, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Drain mushrooms and slice into thin strips. Drain noodles and cut into shorter lengths.

Step 5

Heat sesame oil in a frying pan or wok over medium heat. Add pork and stir-fry until it changes color, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and noodles and cook 1 minute more. Swirl in oyster sauce and soy sauce and stir-fry until evenly coated, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a small plate.

Step 6

Place scallions, cabbage, and cooked egg in individual serving dishes.

Step 7

Combine hoisin sauce, ginger, sake, soy sauce, and garlic in a small bowl.

Step 8

Place moo shu pancakes on a microwave-safe plate and warm in the microwave for about 45 seconds.

Step 9

Place moo shu pancakes in the center of the table surrounded by meat, vegetables, and sauce. Moo shu is eating by taking a moo shu pancake in your hand, spread the inner side with sauce, then add pork mixture, egg, and vegetables as desired, wrap, and eat.
