Moo Shu with Ground Pork
When we lived in San Francisco, moo shu pork was one of our favourite take out dishes from San Tung restaurant. My only complaint would be that it came with only four crêpes.
Making moo shu pork at home is quite easy and using store bought flour tortillas ensures that you can have as many as you would like.
In my original recipe in Daily Special, I marinate pork tenderloin and my daughter makes the flour tortillas from scratch. I have made a few adjustments to make the recipe a little bit easier and quicker but still super delicious.
