Skinny Moo Shu Pork
Skinny Moo Shu PorkStir Fry Chinese recipes are at the core of our weekly meal rotations. We are such creatures of habit that finding takeout copycats we can keep enjoying as often as we’d like (and in BIG portions) keep us satisfied and on track.
This Moo Shu Pork (sometimes called Mu Shu Pork) is the PERFECT Chinese meal made at home. You get a really large serving for a small amount of points. My happy place is eating large servings of delicious food.
What is Moo Shu made of? Moo Shu Pork is similar to a grown up version of the inside of an egg roll. Made with cabbage, carrots, pork, garlic and ginger in a hoisin-sherry sauce, this easy pork stir fry dish is going to be a family favorite you go back to over and over again.
What to serve with Moo Shu Pork? We love to serve this over cauliflower rice (my favorite is cauliflower fried rice which is coming soon), brown rice or steamed vegetables.
What sauce is served with Moo Shu Pork?
The sauce you commonly see served along side moo shu pork is hoisin sauce. Hoisin sauce is similar to a bbq sauce, with a sweet flavor. It is not low in smart points, clocking in around 2 points per tablespoon.
The most authentic way to serve moo shu pork was to serve it in Asian pancakes. I usually eat them with low point flour tortillas but we have gone all out a couple of times and made these pancakes for 2 smart points per pancake.

This is so easy to make and I have all of these ingredients!
I love this lighter version! The lighter pancakes sound delish! I may be hard for me to drizzle the sauce because I love it!
You’re right, Dorothy! It can be hard to limit your sauce usage when it’s so delicious!
Looks delicious! I love stir fry recipes!
This looks incredible!
I love this! And I am sure my family will enjoy this too!
What a dinner! Looks so delicious!
What a great pork dish! Have to make it for dinner soon!
This was fantastic! My local Chinese place sets a pretty high bar for Moo Shu Pork, and this recipe did not disappoint. I subbed sliced white onion for the bamboo shoots – per my taste. So happy I found your site via your guest post on Skinnytaste. Thanks for another winner!
Lisa, so glad my recipe was able to live up to that high standard!
What are the points for this recipe?
I’m so sorry Mary, Weight Watchers Inc. asked me to remove them all from the site per their copyright and trademark protected rights.
Get out! I see the WW points on zillions of food blogs. They typically just say: freestyle points or even FS points.
Thanks for your support!
looks really great. do you know what the point value is on the pancakes?
The company that uses “points” has reached out to me claiming points are proprietary and demanded that I stop sharing them with my recipes. Sorry, but I can’t help you with that.
Just run it thru the recipe builder on the WE app and then save it. It will calculate the points and add it when you track. Easy Peasy! I do it will all my fav recipes
Yum! Question – does the nutrition info you list include the pancakes?
I’m so sorry this got caught in my spam filter. It does not unfortunately, since there is so much variance in the pancake calories.
I made this recipe and it was quite delicious. However, I’m pretty sure it does not have 87.6 grams of protein in it. Can you tell me the actual amount?
