Slow Cooker Moo Shu-Style Pork Tacos
2x the delicious servings!
- Sesame
- Soy
- Wheat
This crowd-pleasing slow-cooker take on moo shu pork means less planning, shopping, and cooking, and more hanging-with-the-fam time! You’ll combine thinly sliced pork with mushrooms, scallions, garlic, and a hoisin-soy glaze in your trusty slow cooker, then set it and forget it. The result is tender, juicy pork that’s bursting with flavor and eager to hop right into warm flour tortillas. Top those tacos with bright, tangy cabbage-carrot slaw, sprinkle with crispy fried onions, and drizzle with Sriracha for a real shu-in of a family dinner idea. This recipe is double the typical servings, providing 4 servings and 8 servings for a 2 person and 4 person box respectively.

Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Halve limes. Trim and slice mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!). Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. (Refrigerate scallion greens until ready to use in Step 6.)
• In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine cabbage and carrot mix, juice from limes, ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 8 servings), salt, and pepper. • Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 1 minute. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• In a second large microwave-safe bowl, whisk together hoisin, sweet soy glaze, cornstarch, and ¼ cup water (½ cup for 8 servings). • Microwave until warmed through, 30 seconds.
• Pat pork* dry with paper towels; thinly slice. • In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, combine sliced pork, moo shu sauce, mushrooms, scallion whites, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to thoroughly combine. • Cover slow cooker with lid and cook on high until pork is cooked through and tender, 4 hours.
• When ready to serve, wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds. TIP: Work in batches to prevent tortillas from sticking!
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer moo shu pork to a large serving platter. Garnish with scallion greens. • Serve family style with tortillas, crispy fried onions, slaw (draining first), and Sriracha on the side.
Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

- Suggestions: Try serving over rice instead of tortillas for a less messy meal; consider adding extra veggies for more depth.
- Portions: Family-size option was appreciated, but some found the meat quantity insufficient for the stated number of servings.

Reviews from our home cooks
This meal was confusing to the taste buds. It's a sweet stew-like consistency that you put on tacos, with slaw? The flavors didn't really go together, and the additional accoutrements in the bag also didn't help this dish. Unfortunately, our button mushrooms were not good on arrival and the pork was overcooked (this could be user error but the dish was cooked the way the instructions stated and for the length of time). The idea for this dish was nice, it wasn't a lot of preparation and it all goes straight into a slow cooker.
This meal was FANTASTIC!!!! I would love to see more crock pot and instant pot meals....I cannot say enough ...easy to make:)
Delicious! The crunchy slaw and onions paired perfectly with the moo shu pork.
This was a really good one. Excellent flavor, good quantity. It was surprisingly delicious.
I love the family size meals that HF now offers! The slow cooker recipes and make-ahead casseroles are perfect for our busy weeknights when I work late but still want to give my family a home-cooked meal.
Very good. A lot of food. I don't have a slow cooker but just cooked in a pan on a stove top. Made several meals.
Soooo good!!! I hope I get to order this again. Served it over rice instead of tortillas as a bowl. May do tacos tomorrow 😍
This was NOT a "double" portion. We got six tacos out of it. A tiny spoonful per taco isn't going to cut it. It was tasty, and we especially liked the cabbage slaw. There should be instructions for Instant Pot in addition to slow cooking.
Good but surprised by the amount of prep prior to slow cooker. Would have been nice if the pork chops were already sliced!
It ended up being beige. Meat and other ingredients are mushy. Taste is ok. My slow cooker had burnt it after 4 hours on high. May need to make a notation that different cookers will have different cooking times
