In reply to Jacqueline Church. Yes Jacqueline, the traditional Moo Shu Pork is quite different from the US version of the dish.

This is interesting. Here in the US, “moo shu” or “moo shi” is always served with crepes and a sweet paste. You brush the sauce on the crepe, roll up the shredded meat and veg and devour with delight. I confess I’ve never made it at home.

We loved this recipe! It seems so plain, yet it doesn’t taste that way; it tastes so juicy and each ingredient shines. It’s also extremely quick; if I hadn’t decided to make Peking duck pancakes as well, it probably would have been 20 minutes start to finish (not including soaking time). I recently searched out dried lily buds for my pantry and I’m very glad that I had them since they add a vegetable-y, almost tea-like flavor that was fabulous.

I’m so happy to see this recipe. I had a version of this in a Chinese Restaurant
in Iowa City this week and it was just like this. Typically, one gets julienned
vegetables that are to be placed in Mandarin pancakes. I look forward to
making this.

In reply to Ekaterina. Do you mean American restaurant style Moo Shu Pork? I'm not quite sure about their exact combination but I know it's largely different from my recipe. If you wish to use sweet bean paste, I think you can use about ½ to 1 tablespoon and omit the salt.

Hi, thank you for an amazing recipe. I have heard to make it more restaurant-style, it is possible to use sweet bean paste (甜面酱)? If yes, how much would you need to add based on your recipe?
Thank you
