Cyndi, a glioblastoma survivor, loves to cook. She has been sending me
wonderful, healthy recipes. They all taste so good. Here is a moo shoo recipe.
I’m thinking we need a recipe blog soon!
Moo Shu Pork, Chicken, or Tofu
Active: 30 min Total: 40
min Serves: 4
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce, plus more for
serving
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 cloves garlic,
minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3/4 pound pork
tenderloin, chicken, or package tofu. Cut into thin strips.
2 tablespoons oil
8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced (I use
mushroom combination)
1 bag (14 ounce) coleslaw mix
1 bunch
scallions, thinly sliced
12 Bibb lettuce leaves (I have also used red
leaf lettuce)
1) Whisk
the hoisin sauce, vinegar, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon (or less) each salt and
pepper in a large bowl. Add the meat or tofu and marinate 10
minutes.
2) Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet
over high heat. Remove meat or tofu from the marinade using tongs (reserve the
marinade) and stir-fry until browned for about 4 minutes. Transfer the meat to a
plate. Add 3 - 4 tablespoons water to the skillet, then pour the pan juices
over the meat on the plate.
3) Add the remaining 1 tablespoon
vegetable oil to the skillet; when hot, add the mushrooms and stir-fry until
slightly golden, about 2 minutes. Add the coleslaw mix and cook until wilted,
about 3 minutes. Add the meat, the reserved marinade and half of the
scallions; stir-fry 2 more minutes. Season with salt and sprinkle with the
remaining scallions. Serve the stir-fry in the lettuce leaves with more hoisin
sauce.
