This easy version of the classic moo shu recipe utilizes shredded cooked chicken and pre-shredded cabbage and served in lettuce wraps. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, sriracha, and cornstarch. Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, about 2 minutes.
Yes. I do like pork, but I almost always make moo shu chicken because, as mentioned above, I cook a lot of baked chicken breasts, so I often have leftovers that I want to use up. If you'd like to use this recipe with pork, try using cooked and shredded (or thinly sliced) pork tenderloin instead of chicken.
But, for comparison's sake, a typical order of Moo Shu Chicken from a Chinese restaurant will run you, on average, about 900 calories, around 40 grams of fat, 75 carbs, 62 grams of protein, and over 4,000 milligrams of sodium. My version contains only 231 calories, 4 grams of fat, 451 mg of sodium, 18 grams of carbs, and 25 grams of protein.
