If you’ve been craving Chinese takeout, you can make this takeout-style recipe at home. This is not your typical Mu Shu with the traditional Chinese pancakes. This one is more like Mu Shu tacos, since you’ll be using flour tortillas instead. The result is delicious. The filling for this Mu Shu Pork is what is most important, and I think you can tell by looking at the photos that it looks pretty amazing, right?
Ingredients needed for making Mu Shu Pork at home:
pork tenderloin hoisin sauce and soy sauce sesame oil and canola oil dry sherry cornstarch mushrooms, green onions, cabbage, ginger and garlic flour tortillas
The first thing you’ll do is slice up the pork tenderloin and combine it with an easy to make marinade. Then you’ll mix up the stir fry sauce. Finally, you’ll do the stir-frying. The pork is cooked in a small amount of hot oil, and then the veggies and ginger and garlic are added in along with the stir fry sauce. That’s it for making the filling. Flour tortillas are heated up briefly and then the filling is spooned into each tortilla, and it’s ready to serve.
What are the best tortillas to use for Mu Shu Pork?
It’s completely up to you to decide what tortillas you’d like to use for this recipe. They will work best with using flour tortillas. I like to use either fat free tortillas or low carb tortillas. You can just wrap them in damp paper towels and heat them briefly in the microwave to warm them up.
Is this recipe Weight Watchers friendly?
Mu Shu Pork is most definitely WW friendly! If you prepare this recipe as written, it will cost you 7 points on any color WW program to eat one Mu Shu wrap. Of course, you can alter the ingredients and change that as you wish… and that will either increase or decrease the point value. This recipe originally appeared in a very old Weight Watchers cookbook: Take Out Tonight. It’s a great cookbook of lightened up takeout-style recipes from Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Thai, etc. restaurants. I have always loved this book!
Some readers have mentioned that the Mu Shu mixture is delicious served over rice too. Enjoy!
