For authentic Moo Shu, you need 'tree ears,' Chinese black mushrooms, bean thread noodles, and Mandarin pancakes. This recipe substitutes ingredients that are easier to find, without sacrificing taste.

Ingredients

• PREP
• 3/4 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into strips 1/4 inch thick
• MARINADE
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon dry sherry
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon sugar

• PANCAKES
• 6 Mandarin pancakes (available at Chinese grocery stores) or 6 large flour tortillas
• SAUCE
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 2 teaspoons dry sherry
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar

Instructions

1. Marinate the pork while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. Wrap the pancakes or tortillas in foil and warm for ten minutes in a 325-degree oven. In a small bowl, mix the sauce. Heat the oil in your pan over high heat, then add the pork strips and stir-fry for three minutes or until the meat is no longer pink. Restir your hoisin mixture and add it to the pan, tossing for a few seconds to evenly coat the pork. Stir in the bean sprouts, then remove the combination to a serving platter and top with the scallions. To serve, spoon the stir-fry into the center of a pancake, fold up one inch at the bottom, then fold over the sides and eat with your hands. Serves three.
