Recipe



MU SHU PORK: Rinse dry lily flower and tree ears in cold water. Soak
in cold water to cover 1 hour, until soft. Drain and finely chop.

Heat wok. When very hot, add peanut oil, turning wok to coat sides.
Add shredded pork and stir-fry 2 minutes. Transfer to small bowl. Add
eggs to wok and stir-fry until cooked. Add to bowl and mix with pork.

Heat more oil if necessary. Quickly add shredded cabbage, chopped
lily flower and tree ears, water chestnuts and garlic and stir-fry
about 2 minutes. Thoroughly blend in pork and eggs. Season with soy,
salt and pepper. Add green onions and cook about 1 minute. Taste for
seasoning.


PAO BIN (THIN PANCAKES):

If using food processor, place flour in work bowl. With motor
running, add boiling water until dough forms ball. Transfer to small
bowl, cover with damp towel and let stand 15 minutes.

If not using food processor, add boiling water gradually to flour,
stirring with wooden spoon. When mixture forms mass (it will be
lumpy), transfer to floured board and knead until dough forms soft,
smooth ball. Place in small bowl, cover with damp towel and let stand
15 minutes.

Cut dough in half. Place on lightly floured surface and roll each
about 1/4-inch thick. Cut into 2- to 2-1/2-inch circles. Knead scraps
together, roll out and repeat to cut more circles.

Brush half of the circles with sesame oil. Place each unoiled circle
on 1 oiled circle. With rolling pin, roll each pair of circles into
larger circle about 6 inches in diameter, keeping as round as
possible.

Place ungreased 8-inch skillet over high heat to warm. Reduce heat to
moderate. Place 1 pancake in skillet and cook until it puffs and
blisters, about 30 seconds. Turn and cook second side. Flip onto
towel and carefully separate into 2 pancakes. Stack on platter or on
foil. When all are cooked, wrap in foil and place in warm oven until
ready to serve.

ASSEMBLY:

Place 2 to 3 tablespoons of Mu Shu Pork on each Pao Bin, roll up and serve.

Note: We always spread some plum sauce on our pancake before putting
on filling and rolling. Delicious.
