Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- ½ ounce dried shiitake mushrooms or ¼ pound fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced
- 1 pound pork tenderloin cut into thin matchsticks
- Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- Avocado oil or cooking fat of choice
- 3 large eggs
- ¾ teaspoon Red Boat fish sauce
- 4 cups thinly sliced Napa Cabbage ~½ pound
- 1 large carrot julienned
- ¼ cup All-Purpose Stir-Fry Sauce
- 2 teaspoons arrowroot powder
- ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 3 scallions thinly sliced
- Grain-free tortillas (I like Siete Cassava and Coconut flour tortillas) lettuce leaves, or thinly sliced jicama
- Paleo Hoisin Sauce
Instructions
- Place the dried shiitake mushrooms in a medium bowl and cover with water for at least 30 minutes or until softened. Squeeze out the extra liquid, cut off the stems, and thinly slice the mushrooms. Set them aside with the rest of the sliced vegetables.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced pork with ¾ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt and 1 teaspoon avocado oil. Set aside.
- Whisk together the eggs and fish sauce in a medium bowl.
- Heat a small non-stick or well-seasoned cast iron skillet over medium heat. Swirl in 2 teaspoons avocado oil when the pan is hot and pour in the eggs. Stir and scrape the pan constantly until you have soft, moist curds of scrambled eggs. Transfer the eggs to a platter.
- Heat a large 12-inch skillet over medium high heat and add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil when it is hot. Add the seasoned pork and cook, stirring frequently until it is no longer pink. Transfer the cooked pork to a plate.
- Discard any liquid in the pan and add another tablespoon of avocado oil before tossing in the chopped mushrooms, cabbage, and carrot.
- Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of Diamond Crystal kosher salt on the vegetables and stir-fry until the vegetables are tender crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- While the vegetables are cooking, whisk the All-Purpose Stir-Fry Sauce, arrowroot powder, and sesame oil in a small measuring cup or bowl.
- When the vegetables are ready, stir in the reserved cooked pork and pour the sauce over everything. Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce is slightly thickened.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the scrambled eggs and sliced scallions. Taste and adjust for seasoning if needed.
- If you’re serving the Paleo Moo Shu Pork in grain-free tortillas, heat them up in a dry skillet over medium heat until warm and softened.
- Slather some Paleo Hoisin Sauce on a warm tortilla or lettuce wrap and build your own Chinese tacos or mini burritos with the Paleo Moo Shu filling.
