Sorry, not the Mushu recipe (I can post that too if you want), but
anyway, it's from the Weight Watchers Momentum books, Slow Cook It:
165 All-New Slow Cooker Recipes, page 60.

Hoisin Pork Rolls

Prep, 25 min.
Slow cook 2 hours
Serves 4

Ingredients

60 mL water
35 mL hoisin sauce
30 mL dry sherry
30 mL low-sodium soy sauce
2 garlic gloves crushed through a press
25 mL cornstarch
5 mL grated peeled fresh ginger
5 mL sugar
625 g pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into matchstick strips
250 g sliced mushrooms
500 mL matchstick carrots
125 mL drained canned bamboo shoots
500 mL loosely packed shredded romaine lettuce
125 mL coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
125 mL thinly sliced scallions
4 22 cm fat-free flour tortillas

1. Whisk water, 15 mL hoisin sauce, sherry, soy, sauce, garlic,
ginger and sugar in 5- or 6-L slow cooker until smooth. Add pork
and mix well. Stir in mushrooms, carrots and bamboo shoots.

2. Cover and cook until pork and vegetables are fork tender, 2-3
hours on high, 4-6 hours on low, stirring once halfway through
cooking time.

3. Combine romaine, cilantro and scallions in medium bowl. Spread
each tortilla with 5 mL remaining hoisin sauce. Top each with
generous 175 mL pork misture and romaine mixture. Fold in sides
and roll up.

NOTE: If the sauce gets too thick, add 15 mL hot water to the slow
cooker when stirring the pork mixture halfway through the cooking
time in step 2.

COMMENTS:

1. I have no garlic press so I crushed them under a blade and
chopped them fine.

2. I used much more than 5 mL of grated ginger.

3. For mushrooms I prefer cremini.

4. I did about 900 g of pork. It turned out fine.

5. Couldn't get bamboo shoots (the store was out). Next time.

6. We used Weight Watchers whole-wheat tortillas. Had a devil of a
time finding them but I knew they were out there.
