For Serving:

Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Pork

1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, garlic, and ginger.
2. Add the sliced pork and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 20 minutes.

Step 2: Fire Up the Arteflame Grill

1. Light the Arteflame grill using vegetable oil-soaked napkins under firewood. Allow the grill to heat for 20 minutes.
2. Grease the flat cooktop with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Step 3: Cook the Pork

1. Place the marinated pork slices on the hot center of the flat cooktop.
2. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Move to the cooler zone to keep warm.

Step 4: Scramble the Eggs

1. Pour the beaten eggs onto the flat cooktop in a medium-heat zone.
2. Scramble the eggs gently, then move them to the side with the cooked pork.

Step 5: Grill the Vegetables

1. Add the cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, and green onions to the medium-heat zone.
2. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-6 minutes until tender but still crisp.

Step 6: Combine and Add Sauce

1. Mix the pork, scrambled eggs, and vegetables together on the flat cooktop.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and the cornstarch slurry.
3. Pour the sauce over the mixture on the grill and toss to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 7: Serve

1. Warm the Mandarin pancakes or tortillas on the grill’s cooler zone for about 30 seconds per side.
2. Spread hoisin sauce on the pancakes if desired.
3. Spoon the Moo Shu Pork mixture into the center of each pancake, roll it up, and enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Moo Shu Pork

1. Slice Thin: Slice the pork as thinly as possible for quick cooking and tender bites.
2. Hot Grill for Searing: Use the high-heat zone to sear the pork for a smoky flavor.
3. Custom Vegetables: Add snap peas, zucchini, or bell peppers for extra variety.
4. Serve Warm: Keep the pancakes warm on the grill while assembling.

Variations

1. Chicken or Beef Moo Shu: Replace pork with thinly sliced chicken or beef.
2. Vegetarian Moo Shu: Use tofu or extra mushrooms as a protein substitute.
3. Spicy Moo Shu: Add chili oil or red pepper flakes to the sauce for heat.
4. Sweet Twist: Drizzle a touch of honey into the sauce for a sweeter flavor.
5. Low-Carb Version: Serve the filling in lettuce wraps instead of pancakes.

Pairings

• Sides: Serve with steamed jasmine rice or grilled bok choy.
• Drinks: Pair with green tea, a light lager, or a fruity white wine.
