Directions:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Soak the fungus in warm water for 10-15 minutes, rinse and drain. Discard any hard stalks, then thinly shred.<\/li>\n
  2. Thinly cut the pork, bamboo shoots and Chinese cabbage into matchstick-sized shreds.<\/li>\n
  3. Lightly beat the eggs with a pinch of salt.<\/li>\n
  4. Heat about 1 tablespoon (15 ml) oil in a preheated wok and scramble the eggs until set, but not too hard. Remove and keep to one side.<\/li>\n
  5. Heat the remaining oil. Stir-fry the shredded pork for about 1 minute or until the color changes. Add the fungus, bamboo shoots, Chinese cabbage and scallions. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes, then add the remaining salt, soy sauce and wine. Blend well and continue stirring for another 2 minutes. Add the scrambled eggs, stirring to break them into small bits. Add the sesame oil and blend well.<\/li>\n
  6. To serve: place about 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of hot Moo Shu in the center of a warm pancake<\/a>, rolling it into a parcel with the bottom end turned up to prevent the contents from falling out. Eat with your fingers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
