Why is moo shu meat called moo shu meat?

Xu Mu meat was originally called muxi meat.

Mushu meat, formerly known as muxi meat, is a common traditional dish, belonging to Confucian dishes in Shandong cuisine. There are several different opinions about the origin of this name. One saying is that "Mushu" is an old Beijing dialect, which means eggs. There are scrambled eggs in the dish, called moo Shu pork. Another way of saying it is that "moo Shu pork" refers to scrambled eggs, which look a bit like alfalfa after frying, and the name of the dish is moo Shu pork. This dish has other names, such as alfalfa meat, but its original name is Muxiu meat.
