Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • In a small pot, combine rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve. • Thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Quarter lime.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork* and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. TIP: If there’s excess grease in your pan, carefully pour it out.
• Stir scallion whites and cabbage into pan with pork; cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 2-3 minutes. • Stir in hoisin, chili sauce, 2½ TBSP sweet soy glaze (5 TBSP for 4 servings), and ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4) until thoroughly combined. Turn off heat. • Taste and season with juice from half the lime (whole lime for 4), salt, and pepper.
• Fluff rice with a fork and stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until melted. Season with salt and pepper. • Divide rice between bowls and top with moo shu pork. Sprinkle with scallion greens and as many sesame seeds as you like. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
I wish there was more veggies in the dish besides just the red cabbage. Moo Shu Pork has more than just the cabbage. However, we loved the flavor and the ease of cooking the dish. We'll order it again.
I love these 20 min dinners for the days when my fibromyalgia is really bothering me. It lets me put a healthier and delicious alternative to fast food on the table. The moo shu bowl has a fabulous crunch factor with the cabbage and sesame seeds.
More Moo Shu, please! We got out of our comfort zone with the ground pork & red cabbage. Sooo convenient to have every sauce and all the ingredients called for in the recipe. Picture perfect!
The Moo Shu was tasty and very easy to prepare. The sauce was a bit sweet for me, so I added hot chili sauce. I highly recommend this recipe!
The Moo Shu Pork Bowls was very good and just the right portions. The flavors were very good and just the right kick.
Moo Shu pork bowls is one of my family's favorites. It is quick and easy to make and it always is yummy!
Another great pork bowl dish! The scallions and buttery rice complemented the cabbage well. Great seasonings, as usual, producing an authentic meal!
This dish really needs more vegetables content to balance out the meat and sweet sauce and starch. Either more cabbage or an additional veggie like carrots or broccoli would be amazing! My husband also commented that moo shu dishes typically come with some kind of thin pancake to eat it with. Would make a nice addition. :)
Moo Shu is one of my favorites and this recipe was easy to make and got the flavor right.
We added the soy glaze to the rice also. Delicious dish of moo shu pork.
