Mu Shu Pork

This is what's left...

I love Mu Shu Pork and this recipe is so simple you can make it at home whenever you want.  I use small flour tortillas in place of the pancakes and regular cabbage in place of Chinese or nappa cabbage.  I often don't have dry sherry on hand so I rice vinegar in place of it.  It tastes a little different but it still works.
