1 lb. boneless pork loin trimmed
2 tablespoon soy sauce low-sodium
2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tsp. corn starch
⅛ tsp. red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or oil of your choice
¼ cup sliced green onions divided
2 teaspoon minced garlic
8 oz. sliced white mushrooms
1 14 oz. bag shredded coleslaw mix (found in the bagged lettuce section of the grocery store) or you can shred your own cabbage and carrots use 3 cups shredded cabbage plus 1 cup shredded carrots.
Optional additional items for serving: cabbage/lettuce leave to serve as “cups” flour tortillas to serve as tacos, or serve over white/brown rice. Plum sauce or hoisin if serving as lettuce cups or tacos. (spread a light layer of plum sauce/hoisin on lettuce cups or tortilla before adding mu shu pork mixture for serving). Additional green onion, sesame seeds, plum/hoisin sauce, sliced peanuts or sriracha according to taste.

Cut pork crosswise into ¼ inch thick slices. Set aside. In a medium bowl combine soy sauce, sesame oil, hoisin sauce, corn starch and red pepper flakes. Add sliced pork and let marinate for at least 10 min.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil. Add onions (reserving some for garnish) and garlic. Sauté until fragrant (approx.1 min.) Add mushrooms and continue to cook until mushrooms become tender and lightly browned (approx. 4-5 min.) Add pork (including marinade) and continue to cook until pork is cooked through (approx. 3-4 min.). Add coleslaw mixture and continue to cook for an additional 1 min. Cabbage will still have some crunch, if you prefer you can cook longer.
Mu Shu Pork can be served many ways. 1) Over white/brown rice. 2) In lettuce/cabbage “cups”- use 4-8 lettuce/cabbage leaves, spread plum/hoisin sauce (optional) in each cup and add Mu Shu Pork mixture. 3) As soft tacos- use 4 flour tortillas, spread plum/hoisin sauce on tortilla. Add Mu Shu mixture to each tortilla and fold up taco style. 4) Just as is- my favorite…scoop Mu Shu Pork out of the pan and serve in bowls garnish with additional green onions/ plum/hoisin sauce/sliced peanuts/sesame seeds/Sriracha etc.
