How To Make moo shu rolls

  • 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.
