Ingredients

Marinade

½ cup orange juice
½ cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoon sesame oil
4 cloves garlic minced
2 teaspoon cornstarch

Moo Shu Pork

1 pound pork chops boneless, sliced thinly, or pork tenderloin
3 tablespoon peanut oil
1 cup red cabbage shredded
8 ounce shiitake mushrooms sliced
3 green onions chopped into 1" pieces, cut on the diagonal
½ cup radishes sliced

Instructions

In a ziploc bag, combine all the marinade ingredients together. Reserve ½ cup of the marinade mixture. Add the pork pieces to the bag and toss well until the meat is evenly coated in the marinade. Set aside for 5 minutes.
Add the peanut oil to a large skillet and heat over high heat. Add the meat from the marinade to the skillet, discarding the remaining marinade in the bag. Saute the pork for 2 to 3 minutes, breaking it up with your tongs, until lightly browned. Add the vegetables and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until vegetables are tender-crisp. Stir in the reserved ½ cup sauce and cook for another minute, until sauce thickens.
Serve over tortillas or Chinese pancakes and drizzle with additional hoisin sauce. Garnish with green onions and radishes.

Notes

Not a fan of pork? Use chicken or beef! Keep in mind when using different proteins, the cook time can vary.
Instead of taking the time to chop up the cabbage, use a bag of coleslaw!
You can buy packages of pre-sliced shiitake mushrooms at most grocery stores, but if you can’t find shiitakes, white button or baby-bella mushrooms will also work.
Transfer leftover moo shu pork to an airtight container and store in the fridge for 3-4 days.
If you want to keep leftovers longer, pop them into an airtight container and place in the freezer. Your leftover moo shu pork will keep for 3–4 months in the freezer.
