I’m guessing this is a recipe for two adults. I can’t see where you specified this. Thx.

This is a great recipe that, as other commenters have mentioned, goes very well with rice for a simple and tasty dinner. Has a delicious home-cooked taste and is a significant improvement over the “moo shu pork” that you would get at the takeout.

In reply to Andreas Fett. Hi Andreas, That's really a great suggestion. I will post my daily meals more. We usually serve all the dishes all together, side dish, salad, soup, rice and meat dish (mainly meat). Eaters decide their personal orders. So it is very much free style. But I will post a daily meal introduction monthly. Thanks sincerely for the suggestion.

Hi Elaine,

thank you for this recipe, it’s absolutely delicious (I even got hold on some dried lilies. Jay!). Now I’m wondering, you mentioned that this goes well with some tofu soup. Now serving soup to a dinner is something which I’m not quite used to. For “fancy” dinners soup is often served before the main dish around here but never together with it. Could you maybe at some time dedicate a post on how a typical/fancy Chinese meal would look like? IE. How many and which dishes / side dishes would be served in what “order” or which would typically be served side by side?

Excuse me for asking, but Chinese restaurants here have adopted our local style of serving dishes, presumably as not to alienate anyone. And if not, well then I believe they are more on the “fancy” side as opposed to something that one would do for home cooking.

By the way the scallions seem to be missing from the list of ingredients.

Cheers Andreas

So excited to find this recipe! My family loved having this whenever we ordered takeout while we were living in China. Can’t wait to try this. Thank you!

In reply to Clint.

Hi Clint,
Yes. You can cut the pork and cucumber into shreds if you like. There is no particular reason to keep the ingredients as slices but just a custom.
By the way, thanks so much for your lovely support.
