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.

Tips:

- Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent your food from sticking and will also impart a delicious flavor to your dish.
- Cook the meat in batches: If you're using a lot of meat, cook it in batches so that it doesn't overcrowd the wok and steam instead of fry.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables in moo shu pork or beef should be cooked until they are tender-crisp. Overcooking them will make them mushy and bland.

- Serve with warm tortillas or pancakes: Moo shu pork or beef is traditionally served with warm tortillas or pancakes. You can also serve it over rice or noodles.
