Stay tuned for the mandarin pancake video.
Here’s Chinese Cooking Demystified’s video on moo shu pork which is as great as everything they do: • Moo Shu Pork, Beijing-...
This recipe is from my book The Wok. Here's the recipe:
MOO SHU (MOO SHI) MUSHROOMS OR MOO SHU PORK
NOTE: If you prefer to make moo shu pork, omit mushrooms, increase pork to 12 ounces, and double all of the pork marinade ingredients. Proceed as instructed, stir-frying the pork in two separate batches, adding the scallions, woodears, and day lilies to the second batch of pork as instructed in Step 7.
YIELD:
Serves 4
ACTIVE TIME:
20 minutes
TOTAL TIME:
40 minutes
The Dry Ingredients:
¼ cup (1/2 ounce, about 15g) dried Chinese woodear mushrooms
¼ cup (1/2 ounce, about 15g) dried daylily buds
For the Pork:
4 ounces (120g) pork loin, pork sirloin, chicken breast, or extra-firm tofu cut into thin slivers
1 teaspoon (5ml) Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
1 teaspoon (5ml) light soy sauce or shoyu
¼ teaspoon (.5g) ground white pepper
Kosher salt
Pinch MSG (optional)
1 teaspoon (3g) cornstarch
For the Sauce:
1 tablespoon (15ml) Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
1 tablespoon (15ml) light soy sauce or shoyu
½ teaspoon (1g) ground white pepper
For the Stir-Fry:
4 tablespoons (20ml) roasted sesame oil
3 eggs, thoroughly beaten with a pinch of salt
2 slices ginger, divided
8 ounces mixed sliced mushrooms (see page 000)
2 scallions thinly sliced on a sharp bias
¼ teaspoon MSG (optional)
To Serve:
Mandarin pancakes or warm flour tortillas
Hoisin sauce or sweet bean sauce
1. Rehydrate the dried ingredients: Place woodears and daylily buds in a large bowl or measuring cup large enough to allow for them to expand about fourfold. Cover with very hot water and set aside until rehydrated, about 15 minutes. Drain thoroughly. Remove tough centers from the woodears, then thinly slice them. Cut daylilies into 2-inch pieces.
2. While woodears and daylilies rehydrate, marinate the pork: Place pork in a medium bowl, cover with cold water, and vigorously agitate it. Drain through a fine mesh strainer set in the sink and press on the pork with your hands to remove excess water. Return the pork to the bowl and add wine, soy sauce, white pepper, a pinch of kosher salt, a pinch of MSG, and cornstarch. Stir vigorously with your fingertips or chopsticks for 30 seconds. Set aside for 15 minutes at room temperature.
3. Meanwhile, make the sauce: Combine wine, soy sauce, and white pepper in a small bowl and whisk with a fork until no lumps remain.
4. Cook the eggs: Heat wok over high heat until lightly smoking. Add 2 tablespoon (15ml) oil and swirl to coat. Pour the beaten eggs into the center and cook without moving for 10 seconds. Continue to cook, stirring breaking up the eggs with a spatula until they are barely set, 30 to 45 seconds. Transfer eggs to a large bowl.
5. Wipe out wok and return to high heat until lightly smoking. Add 1 tablespoon (15ml) sesame oil and swirl to coat. Add 1 slice ginger and let sizzle for 5 seconds. Immediately add pork and stir-fry until pork is no longer pink and mostly cooked through, about 1 minute (if making Moo Shu Pork instead of Moo Shu Mushrooms, cook pork in two batches-see note). Transfer to bowl with eggs.
6. Wipe out wok and return to high heat until lightly smoking. Add remaining 1 tablespoon (15ml) oil and swirl to coat. Add remaining ginger slice and let sizzle for 5 seconds. Immediately add the mixed mushrooms and stir-fry until mushrooms are lightly browned around the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Add scallions, woodears, and day lilies, and stir-fry until softened and fragrant, about 30 seconds.
7. Add the pork and eggs back to the wok and toss everything to combine. Stir sauce and add to wok by pouring it around the edges. Stir-fry everything together to combine and season to taste with salt and more white pepper. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately with Mandarin pancakes and hoisin sauce.

I wouldnt use such strong language (you are probably being hyperbolic i know), but kenji really let me evolve in the kitchen. I used to have such massive hesitation in the kitchen that revolved a lot around lack of available ingredients. Kenji is really good at highlighting the important parts/techniques in a recipe and propogating the attitude of just cooking without too much stress. (I think the go-pro style helps aswell, i thought by now it would become way more common on foodtube but it hasnt suprisingly)

When the meat is cut that thin, I would postulate that the kneading/squeezing process is both forcing water into the tissues and tenderizing what is an otherwise lean cut so it doesn't have much connective bits to break down or fat to render. This allows the cooking process to infuse the sauce back into the meat and make FLAVOR! Go ahead, prove it Kenji!

It has been literally decades since I've had Mu Shu pork and no restaurant in the area I live now offers it. I've ordered The Wok and I hope that is one of the recipes in it. Amazon has the ingredients available and I did see frozen Mu Shu wrappers at the one half-decent Asian market in the region so I should be set! I no longer have a gas range so I bought an induction wok (not induction compatible but an actual small appliance) two years ago so I could continue using a round bottom wok. I have to say that I get better heat output out of that thing than I did on my old gas range. I do have my little 15K butane burner but it sets off all the house alarms so I only use it while camping.

The pork wash/massage is obviously one way to do it, but I believe that Chinese cooks (like my ex-wife) just turn that cleaver over and tenderize it by whacking it with the dull side. I reckon that's why Kenji says the wash/massage is "controversial." I've got one of those wobbly-handled woks but it only has one handle. You have to screw in the little circle at the end tightly before you use it or you might dump all the food on the floor.

You've probably addressed these issues before so perhaps you can point me to your answers or resources: Using 1) baking soda as a meat tenderizer and 2) the use of MSG as a flavor enhancer. My concerns are 1) the added sodium from either could be unhealthy (?) and 2) baking soda seems to make meat oddly textured - tender but spongy.
@lilliputlittle
@lilliputlittle 2 жыл бұрын
You can reduce the amount of sodium chloride to compensate but I don't fuss over the sodium in MSG as it is about 1/3 of that of regular table salt. I've had luck velveting meat with cornstarch and egg whites but baking soda does do a better job.

Hey Kenji. Is it smart to dry brine a boneless prime rib in the fridge for a couple days? And am I supposed to salt it again before putting in the oven? Or just add the pepper and then put it in? Many thanks and much love
@chilepeulla
@chilepeulla 2 жыл бұрын
Not Kenji and a week late but I figured it’s better late than never. It’s a good idea to dry brine it in the fridge, provided that you calculated the right amount of salt (between 1.5 - 2% of the total weight of the prime rib). Depending on the size of the meat, it may take more than 2 days for the salt to reach the center and distribute evenly throughout the whole piece, so take that into consideration. I once dry brined a leg of ham and didn’t leave it enough time, the exterior was too salty and the center was bland. You don’t need to salt again before cooking, adding fresh ground pepper would be good at this point, just make sure the surface is wet enough for it to stick.

Kenji, I hope you have a solution for this, it isn’t cooking technique per se but you have a solution based approach to things, so wondering if you can either recommend or provide some solution for the grease and smell from Asian cooking. You could have the most powerful extractor hood in the world but it won’t work if you just trying to create a vacuum in your home. How does a restaurant manage? Is there some sort of cooling system before the vaporised grease hits everything and makes clean up harder?

Always funny that a pro cook's "1tbsp" of oil is usually more like 4. Always wonder whether it's intentional.

Is that a Joyce Chen wok? I had one with a flat bottom where the rivets on the handle got weak causing it to wobble. Eventually the rivets completely wore out and the handle fell off.

Kenji, did you hear that Mary Chung restaurant in Cambridge is closing after 40 years. Had a lot of Moo Shi there over the years.

I really like that set of metal bowls, any chance you (or someone else watching the video) could share what brand they are or point to them somewhere?

Diamond crystal salt has been discontinued in many of my local stores. If that's the salt you use, I was only able to find it at Whole Foods and Amazon.

First day watching. At :44, I want that cleaver. Doesn't look like it needs to be sharpened much. Any chance you can drop me a link (avoiding censors -ofc) for it?

slightly similar to Sundanese Lumpia except they use cheaper meats or even just bamboo shoots and bean sprouts

If your son has an egg allergy won’t it cross contaminate if you fry the egg in the same pan as the rest of the ingredients?
