Leave the pancakes to the breakfast table; this moo shu brings the crunch as well as the flavor. Succulent pork, umami mushrooms, and slaw hit right, in whatever form, but in crispy lettuce it hits just right. Pancakes with breakfast syrup, moo shu with lettuce cups… and this dinner right in your box.
