What Is Moo Shu

Moo shu pork originated in China and became an Americanized recipe that is popular in Chinese restaurants today. The main ingredients in traditional Moo shu pork are cabbage and scrambled eggs. Then, it also has the pork, other veggies (like mushrooms) and the sweet umami sauce that resembles teriyaki sauce.

It is usually stir-fried and the vegetables are thinly sliced. It’s a very fiber-rich dish with tons of flavor.

Is Moo Shu Pork Keto

The moo shu pork that you order at a Chinese restaurant is probably not keto-friendly. The sauce is usually sweetened with some type of sugar or syrup.

To make this dish low-carb, I used Swerve brown sugar substitute. Beyond that, the rest of the ingredients are already low in carbs. Keep reading and learn how I made this incredibly flavorful meal.

Can You Freeze Moo Shu Pork

Yes, this is a very freezer-friendly recipe. The best way to freeze it is to cook it and then let it cool off completely. Then, store it in a plastic freezer-safe resealable bag. Keep it in your freezer for up to 6 months.

Serve this with my other favorite Chinese foods – keto egg roll soup and some low-carb chicken cauliflower fried rice. If you aren’t a fan of egg roll soup, then make some keto egg drop soup instead. It’s a very light option that is a perfect meal starter.

This is the perfect recipe to make for your meal prep. The only thing about it is that if you heat it up in the microwave, the crispy veggies will have a softer texture. To keep them crispy, I suggest reheating them in a skillet.
