Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor of your Moo Shu Pork, consider marinating the pork tenderloin in a bit of low-sodium soy sauce and garlic for 15-30 minutes before cooking. If you don't have hoisin sauce, a mix of peanut butter and a dash of honey can work as a substitute. For added crunch, try substituting the cole slaw mix with shredded cabbage or adding bell peppers.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Moo Shu Pork wrapped in tortillas with a side of steamed broccoli or a light salad for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with France'S Spinach Salad for a refreshing contrast. You can also add some sliced cucumbers or pickled vegetables for an extra crunch and flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Moo Shu Pork can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
