Chinese tacos made at home with Slow Cooker Moo Shu Pork!
Welcome back to another slow cooker take-out recipe you can whip up at home. I’m pretty stoked about my ever-growing library of Chinese dishes with addition of this Slow Cooker Moo Shu Pork. Check out my other tasty creations: General Tso’s Chicken, Mongolian Beef and Sweet & Sour Chicken all made in the slow cooker!
This time I wanted to tackle one of my all-time favourites – Moo Shu Pork. I love the idea of delicious slices of hoisin-sauced pork tucked into a soft taco… Mandarin meets Mexican… so very Canadian!
So what’s in Moo Shu other than pork? Lots of carrots and cabbage! I like to keep mine simple with just those three ingredients, however traditionally, it is made with additional wood ear mushrooms and some scrambled egg.
Instead of making a traditional Chinese pancake, we are going to serve this Slow Cooker Moo Shu Pork America-style in a soft flour tortilla from the grocery store. Simply pick up whole wheat, corn, gluten-free or whatever kind of soft tortilla you like. Fast and easy.
I like to pile on lots of pork filling and top them with sliced green onions, extra shredded carrot (optional), bean sprouts (optional) and a drizzle of extra hoisin sauce. Get ready, you’re going to get your hands dirty. Deliciously messy… enjoy!
