Moo Shoo Pork is a popular Chinese stir-fry dish that is commonly served with Mandarin pancakes, hoisin sauce, and julienned vegetables.

This dish is relatively easy to make and can be customized to individual tastes with added vegetables or spicier seasonings. It's a great way to introduce the flavors and aroma of authentic Chinese cuisine to your palate while enjoying a classic dim sum dish at home.

4.	Add the remaining 4 tablespoons of oil to the wok and stir-fry the chopped mushrooms, shallots or onions, and sugar for 2 minutes. Mix in the cooked eggs and pork, tossing all ingredients together until combined. Serve hot.
