Sauted Eggs with Pork (Mu Xu Rou)
Mu Xu Pork is a kind of dish served by rolling it into very thin
pancakes (Mu Xu pancakes) after frying eggs, pork and other
Chinese vegetables. This is a very tasty Northern dish in China
and favored by most families. It tastes the best when served
with pancakes along with the special sweet seafood sauce (known
as Hoysing (Cantonese) sauce in America, though it really should
be called Hai Xian sauce you meant to say it in Chinese); it is
also favored by many people as a side dish when eating with rice
or congee. It is full of unique fragrance. Adding enough chopped
raw scallions when you eat can bring out the best flavor.
Of course, depending on your preference, you may replace the
pork with other meats like shrimps, chicken, beef, etc., or cook
it without any meat to make it a vegetable Mu Xu. But
traditionally when we talk about Mu Xu Rou in China, pork is
always the king.
