Moo Sho Pork Woks of Life


 



Make moo shu pancakes with a hot water dough—flour mixed with boiling water. This breaks down the gluten in the flour, making for a very pliable dough that you can roll extremely thinly. Once cooked, it has both a chewy and tender texture. 


The secret to getting them so thin is to roll them two at a time (which also makes the process go doubly fast!). You cook them very quickly in a dry wok (only 1-2 minutes per pancake) and then pull apart the thin pancakes once they’re out of the wok. This way, you have a slightly bubbly, slightly crisp side, as well as the tender smooth side of the pancake. 


If making these ahead, remember to reheat the pancakes in a steamer (preferably a bamboo steamer to prevent condensation on the pancakes) right before serving!


The filling

In a bowl, add the pork along with

 ¼ teaspoon salt, 

1 teaspoon shaoxing wine, 

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper,

2 teaspoons cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon vegetable oil. 


Let marinate for 15 minutes.


In a separate bowl, make the stir-fry sauce by combining 

1/4 cup water, 

2½ tablespoons
