Moo Shu: Chinese Food in America

Besides Orange Chicken, an Americanized Chinese dish, there is also another dish came to America from China that should be remembered. In the mid-20th century, Moo Shu pork came to the United States and became popular in the Boston metropolitan area. It is originated from Shantong Province in China, which mixes cooked pork with mushroom, vegetables and egg, and simply flavored using soy sauce, wine, toasted sesame oil, white pepper, and ginger. This dish is just like Peking duck, served with Mandarin pancake and sweet sauce. I personally like this type of dish, because this dish includes a balance in protein, fiber, and flavor. It is just like burrito or taco in Chinese style. I think I will try to find recipe of Moo Shu, cook it at home, and serve it along with tortillas.
