Fun Food Trivia
TRIVIA QUESTION: What famous Chinese dish most closely resembles a Mexican burrito?
TRIVIA ANSWER: Mu Shu Pork. This northern dish is designed to be served with delicate pancakes, sometimes called "doilies" because they are so thin. Hoisin sauce is spread on the pancakes, then the Mu Shu pork is placed in the middle, and the pancakes are rolled up and eaten.
Translated literally, Mu Shu means "cassia blossom." Mu Shu pork gets its
name because it contains bits of scrambled eggs that are said to resemble the fragrant
yellow flowers. Authentic Mu Shu pork is made with wood ears and golden needles,
adding even more color to the dish.
