Moo shu is a Chinese term that originally referred to the osmanthus tree (Chinese, mu xu), and which became a culinary term through association with moo sho pork (mù xū ròu). In Chinese-American restaurant practice, it became a term for savory dishes served with small flour pancakes and a hoisin sauce that are assembled at the table, rather like a fajita or taco.
