For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of rice vinegar or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade. If you don't have pork tenderloin, you can substitute with boneless pork chops or chicken breast, cut into thin strips. Feel free to experiment with other vegetables such as sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, or bamboo shoots. Serve with warm Mandarin pancakes, plum sauce, and hoisin sauce for a more traditional Moo Shu experience.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic until the marinade is smooth and well combined. (2 minutes)
02
Step
3 mins
Transfer the marinade into a resealable plastic bag. Add the pork strips, ensuring they are thoroughly coated with the flavorful marinade. Gently squeeze out any excess air and seal the bag tightly. (3 minutes)
03
Step
1 hrs
Allow the pork to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat. (1 hour to overnight)

Step
2 mins
When ready to cook, heat the vegetable oil in a wok or a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. (2 minutes)
05
Step
2 mins
Add the shredded napa cabbage and grated carrot to the hot wok and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until they begin to soften but still retain a pleasant crispness. (2 minutes)
06
Step
1 mins
Push the cabbage and carrot mixture to the side of the wok, creating space in the center. Add the marinated pork, along with the remaining marinade, to the center of the wok. (1 minute)
07
Step
4 mins
Cook and stir the pork until it is fully cooked through and lightly browned, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption. (4 minutes)
08
Step
2 mins
Draw the cabbage and carrot mixture back into the center of the wok and combine it with the cooked pork. Stir-fry for another 1 to 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together harmoniously. (2 minutes)
