Mu Shu Chicken or Pork Wraps

When I was younger, my mom loved to take a break from cooking on the weekends and take us out to dinner. And one of her favorite places to take us was a Chinese restaurant where they served Mu Shu Pork. We loved it! So several years ago I was reading a Family Fun magazine and saw this recipe for Mu Shu Wraps made in the crock pot. I made it that very week and it was a hit, it's super simple and my family loves it. I can't think of many things that bring me more joy at 5:00 p.m. in the evening than having dinner already done in the slow cooker!

This recipe actually calls for chicken, but I have also made it with a pork (details will follow :) and it tastes delicious either way.

Mu Shu Pork or Chicken Wraps, makes about 8-10 Wraps

Print Recipe

1 large Onion, sliced

2 pounds boneless, skinless Chicken Thighs OR a 2 pound Pork Roast
1  jar (7 oz) or 1 cup Hoisin Sauce (in the Asian section of the grocery store, see pic below)
2 Tablespoons Honey
1/4 teaspoon ground Ginger
2 cups Broccoli Coleslaw -I have found this at both Walmart and the 99 cent store
1 Tablespoon Rice Wine Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
1 teaspoon Sugar
Flour Tortillas
*Hoisin Sauce


Spray a 4 quart slow cooker (you could also use a 3 or 5 quart if that's what you have) with cooking spray. Place sliced onion in the bottom. Lightly season chicken thighs or pork roast with a bit of salt and pepper and place on top of onions. Cook on low 4 or 5 hours (a pork roast may cook a bit longer)or until meat pulls apart easily with a fork.
With a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken and onions to a bowl and shred the meat. Pour remaining juices out of the slow cooker. Place hoisin sauce, honey, and ginger in the crock pot and stir. Place meat and onions in the crock pot and stir into sauce. Let sit for a few minutes while you gather and prepare other ingredients.
In a small bowl, combine rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, and sugar. Pour over broccoli coleslaw and stir.







Place a tortilla on a plate, spoon on meat and onion mixture.

 

Cover with broccoli slaw and wrap up and eat!! I like serving these with rice and fresh fruit on the side.
