Ingredients

Protein and Vegetables

  • 1 lb pork tenderloin, thinly sliced
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup carrot, julienned
  • 1/2 cup cabbage, shredded

Sauce and Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Additional

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 small flour tortillas or wrappers
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pork: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced pork tenderloin and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced onions and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions are softened and the garlic is fragrant.
  3. Cook Vegetables: Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms, julienned carrots, and shredded cabbage to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
  4. Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ground ginger, salt, and pepper to create the flavorful sauce.
  5. Combine Pork and Sauce: Return the cooked pork to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce mixture over everything and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Warm Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas or wrappers in a dry skillet briefly or microwave them until pliable and warm.
  7. Serve: Spoon the pork and vegetable mixture onto the warm tortillas. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro if desired, then roll or fold to enjoy.

Notes

  • You can substitute pork tenderloin with chicken or tofu for variation.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free soy sauce and tortillas or serve with lettuce wraps.
  • Adjust the amount of hoisin sauce according to desired sweetness and saltiness.
  • To add heat, include a teaspoon of chili garlic sauce or fresh sliced chili peppers in the sauce.
  • Use traditional moo shu pancakes if available, but flour tortillas work well for convenience.
