Best 7 Moo Shu Pork With Mock Mandarin Pancakes Recipes

facebook share image   twitter share image   pinterest share image   E-Mail share image

Moo shu pork is a classic Chinese dish that is typically made with shredded pork, vegetables, and a savory sauce. It is often served with thin pancakes, which are used to wrap up the pork and vegetable filling. This recipe provides a delicious and authentic take on moo shu pork, using mock Mandarin pancakes instead of the traditional thin pancakes. The mock Mandarin pancakes are made with a combination of all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and water, and they are cooked in a pan until they are golden brown and crispy. The pork filling is made with shredded pork, cabbage, carrots, scallions, and a flavorful sauce made with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. The vegetables are stir-fried until they are tender-crisp, and the pork is added and cooked until it is heated through. The sauce is then added to the pork and vegetable mixture, and everything is stirred together until it is well combined. The moo shu pork is then served with the mock Mandarin pancakes, and it can be garnished with additional scallions or cilantro. This recipe also includes a vegetarian version of moo shu pork, which uses tofu instead of pork. The tofu is marinated in a flavorful sauce and then stir-fried with the vegetables. The vegetarian moo shu pork is served with the mock Mandarin pancakes, and it can be garnished with additional scallions or cilantro.

MU SHU PORK WITH MANDARIN PANCAKES



Mu Shu Pork With Mandarin Pancakes image

I got this recipe from an old Chinese cookbook. You can find the Tiger Lily Buds and dried 'tree ears' in most Asian markets. We love this recipe! You can add chopped cabbage, but the original recipe doesn't call for it. I add it if I need to make a larger portion. I buy the Mandarin Pancakes at my local chinese take out place. You can make your own. See below. I serve with fried rice on the side. You can also use this filling for lettuce wraps...yum!

MOO SHU CHICKEN WITH MANDARIN PANCAKES



Moo Shu Chicken with Mandarin Pancakes image

This is a decidedly American version of moo shu chicken, but fast to make! The Mandarin pancakes, also called moo shu shells, can be found in almost any Asian market, but feel free to use flour tortillas. Keep in mind the moo shu shells are much thinner than a typical flour tortilla, and have a different (pasta-like) taste.

MANDARIN PANCAKES



Mandarin Pancakes image

These thin pancakes are typically used for wrapping moo shu pork or Peking duck. They're made with a hot water dough, which makes them very easy to roll out. Stacking two disks of dough, rolling them out, cooking them, then carefully peeling them apart lets you make pancakes that are half as thin as a single pancake would be - and prepared in nearly half the amount of time.

Provided by J. Kenji López-Alt

Categories     finger foods, pancakes

Time 30m

Yield 12 large pancakes or up to 20 smaller pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups plus 2 tablespoons/280 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons/100 milliliters boiling water
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons/100 milliliters cold water
Vegetable oil or roasted sesame oil, for brushing

Steps:

  • Place flour in a medium bowl. Add the boiling water in a thin stream while stirring with chopsticks or a wooden spoon. It helps to set the bowl in a heavy saucepan lined with a dish towel to keep it stable, or a friend stabilize the bowl as you do this. Add the cold water in a thin stream, continuing to mix the whole time. Stir the mixture until it turns into a shaggy ball, then dump the ball out onto a lightly floured work surface.
  • Knead the dough with your hands until it forms a smooth ball, about 5 minutes. Cover the dough ball with a damp dish towel and let rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes or up to a couple hours.
  • Roll the dough into a log roughly 10 inches long, then cut it in half crosswise. Line up the two small logs, then section each one in 6ths to form 12 pieces (for approximate 8-inch pancakes); in 8ths for 16 pieces (for approximate 7-inch pancakes) or in 10ths for 20 pieces (for approximate 6-inch pancakes).
  • Roll two pieces into smooth balls between your hands, working with one piece at a time. Then, using a rolling pin or wine bottle, gently roll each of the two pieces into circular disks about 1/4-inch thick. (You'll cook two pieces at a time and proceed through the end of Step 7 before rolling out the remaining balls.)
  • Brush the top of one disk with a thin, even layer of oil, then stack the second disk on top. Using a rolling pin, roll the stacked disks into a 6- to 8-inch circle. The size will depend on the number of balls you made in Step 3.
  • Heat a cast-iron, carbon steel, or nonstick skillet over medium until a drop of water flicked onto the surface immediately bubbles and evaporates (about 2 minutes), then add the rolled, stacked disk. Let cook on one side until blistered and browned in spots, about 1 minute. Flip and cook until second side is blistered and browned. Sometimes the pancakes will bubble up with steam as they cook, preventing the second side from making good contact with the pan. You can gently press down on them with a flat spatula if this happens.
  • Remove the cooked disk, then carefully peel it apart into two thin pancakes while still hot. Transfer to a plate and cover with a clean dish towel.
  • Repeat Steps 4 through 7 for the remaining dough balls, adjusting heat as necessary to make sure the pancakes brown in spots but don't blacken. Finished pancakes should be served while still warm. To store leftovers, place the pancakes on large squares of plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then roll them up like a jelly roll and refrigerate. Reheat covered in the microwave, or briefly heat one at a time in a hot, dry skillet.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give you plenty of room to cook the pork and vegetables without overcrowding the pan.
  • Cook the pork in batches: If you try to cook all of the pork at once, it will crowd the pan and steam instead of browning. Cook the pork in batches, removing it from the pan when it is cooked through.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, texture, and color to your dish. Some good choices include cabbage, carrots, celery, and mushrooms.
  • Make sure the pancakes are thin: The thinner the pancakes, the better they will wrap around the moo shu pork.
  • Serve the moo shu pork with your favorite dipping sauce: Some good options include hoisin sauce, plum sauce, or duck sauce.

Conclusion:

Moo shu pork is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a little planning and preparation, you can have this dish on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give moo shu pork a try. You won't be disappointed!
