Since I already have a Beef and Broccoli post from the Sous Vide Showdown, I wanted to try something new that I had never made before. I decided to give Mu Shu Pork a shot. This included making my own paleo version of Hoisin Sauce as well. I must say, it came out amazing. This is definitely something that I will make on a regular basis.

Cook Mode

In a small mixing bowl, combine white wine vinegar, sesame oil and paleo soy sauce to make a marinade.
Add sliced pork to marinade and thoroughly coat. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes.
While pork is marinating, soak wood ears in hot water for 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Break off any hard stems and julienne wood ears.
Heat wok over medium heat and scramble eggs with a pinch of salt and 1 tbs lard.
Remove eggs and shred into thin strips and set aside.
Return wok to high heat and add remaining lard.
Stir fry garlic until golden, about 1 minute.
Add pork shreds and stir fry another 2 minutes.
Remove pork using a slotted spoon and set aside.
Add hoisin sauce to wok and stir fry 1 minute.
Add bamboo shoots, cabbage, carrot, and wood ears to wok and stir fry 5 minutes.
Add salt, chicken stock, pork and eggs and mix well for about a minute.
Serve immediately.

Notes

If you can't find wood ears, you may substitute for oyster mushrooms instead. Just skip the re-hydration step.
