MOO SHU ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. Combine beef & pork in 5- or 6-quart slow cooker; scramble it around to mix it together. Add mushroom, onion, and garlic. Mix broth, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, and 5-spice powder in small bowl; pour over beef/pork mixture. Cover and cook until flavors are blended and sauce is slightly thickened, 4 - 5 hours on high, or 8 - 10 hours on low.
• 2. Spoon one generous tablespoon of the beef/pork mixture in the center of each lettuce leaf. Top each with about 1 T. of carrots, 1 T. sliced scallion, and 1 T. or thinly-siced radishes. Roll up and eat!
• 3. Weight Watchers calculates this as 2 Points per serving, and each serving is 2 roll-ups. Added side-dishes will, of course, be extra points.

VEGETARIAN MOO SHU EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. In a small bowl, cover the dried mushrooms with very hot water. Let stand until softened, about 30 minutes. Drain, remove and discard the stems, and cut the mushrooms into 1/4-inch wide strips. Set aside. 2. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sherry, sesame oil, sugar, and salt. Set aside. Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the oil and tilt to coat the inside of the pan. Add the scallions and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add the cabbage, carrot, bamboo shoots, and water chestnuts and stir-fry until the cabbage wilts, about 3 minutes. Stir the soy sauce mixture into the vegetables and mix well. Transfer to a shallow dish and let cool completely. Sprinkle with the cornstarch and toss until the vegetables absorb the cornstarch. 3. Preheat the oven to 200°F. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Place an egg roll wrapper on a work surface, with the points at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock. Place one sixth of the filling on the bottom third of the wrapper, forming it into a log that comes no closer than 1/2 inch to the edges of the wrapper. Fold up the bottom point, and roll up the wrapper, folding in the side points as you roll it into a thick cylinder. Place a dab of water on the last point to adhere it to the roll. Place the roll, seam-side down, on the waxed paper. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers. 4. Place a large wire cake rack over a jelly roll pan. In a deep Dutch oven, melt vegetable shortening over high heat to a depth of 2 to 3 inches and heat it to 365°F. In batches, without crowding, deep-fry the egg rolls until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Using a wire-mesh skimmer, transfer to the wire rack and keep warm in the oven while deep-frying the remaining egg rolls. Serve immediately, with small bowls of the hoisin sauce, mustard, and duck sauce, for dipping.
