Hi – American expat in Beijing, and I was just informed that mu shu pork is a Chinese staple… previously, all that I recognized as an American was Kung Pow Chicken. That said – I tried it tonight in Beijing and it is a million miles from anything we would recognize in the states.

1. – In BJ no hoisin, and no pancake
2. – Cucumbers, pork, egg, and black fungus – only.
3. – Oil bath, even by Chinese standards

And yes – bing is the proper word for just about anything round and edible. So now I am thinking I will make my Chinese gf some ‘proper’ Mu shu rou! Thanks for the detailed instructions, but I fear you left out the magic ingredient MSG

Thank you my dear! Just made this tonight in Germany, had a little trouble finding all the right ingredients, but it worked out wonderfully!! Your pictures tempted me, it was the most appetizing thing I had seen in a long time. Still have leftovers, but will make a light sauce with the rest tomorrow (chicken broth and something or the other),some rice, and voila, another evening meal. Thanks again, Monika

Thanks for the recipe – Moved from NYC to New Orleans, and there is a serious lack of good Chinese food here… Learned several dishes (also learning to cook Thai, Japanese and Vietnamese – next attempt will be Ethiopian), but been missing my Mu Shu for over 3 years now!

Anyway, as for the pancakes, Food network has a recipe from Emeril Lagossi that looks fairly easy.

Now, I just have to find a source for plum sauce, and I am going to have a FEAST! UUuuuuUUUuuummm… Muuuuuuu Shuuuuuuuu!
