When I posted my recipe for Char Siu pork belly, I mentioned that I had plans for the leftovers, and if it worked I’d post it here. Well, last night I ended up making these Mu Shu tacos, and they were as good as I was hoping they’d be. So here they are!
This does take a bit of effort, but it’s entirely worth it. The first thing you’ll need to do is save your leftover hoisin sauce from the original pork belly. It’ll last for a while in the fridge, as nothing in it is particularly perishable. You’ll also need to make a second full batch. Keep them separate, because the new batch will go into the cabbage mix and the leftovers can be drizzled on the tacos. As for the leftover pork, for this recipe I used half of the pork belly. To prepare it for this recipe, cut it in half crosswise and slice it thinly lengthwise, then set it aside for now. After the pork belly is sliced, put two large dried wood ear mushrooms in a heatproof bowl and cover them with boiling water. Set those aside for at least 20 minutes, which incidentally is the amount of time it’ll take to make the rest of the stuff.
You also need to make tortillas, so get those started first, as they’re going to take the longest. Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat it to medium. I use this avocado oil variety, which you can get from Costco or Amazon. For the tortillas, I use a recipe that has pork rinds as a base. While you can use regular pork rinds, I used pork rind crumbs so there were no chunks from underblending.
