Spicy Wrapped Mu Shu Chicken Recipe

Instructions

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken: Toss chicken strips with soy, sesame, and starch. Stir to combine all the ingredients, and let marinade for 10 to 15 minutes while you prepare your other components.
2. Scramble the Eggs: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the beaten eggs and scramble until completely cooked through. Remove eggs from the pan and keep aside.
3. Cook the Chicken: In the same pan, heat the remaining vegetable oil over medium-high. Then add the marinated chicken and saute till cooked through in about 4 to 5 minutes. Take out from the pan and hold.
4. Stir-Fry the Vegetables: Back in the same pan, add ginger, garlic, cabbage, carrots (either pre-shredded or sliced), shiitakes, and scallion. Stir-fry in low heat for about 3 to 4 minutes until the veggies are tender-crisp.
5. Combine Everything: Add the cooked chicken and scrambled eggs back to the pan with vegetables. Add the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Mix everything together then, sauté for another 2 to 3 minutes until the ingredients are well coated with sauce.
6. Serve: 1/4 cup scallions chopped hot Mu Shu pancakes or flour tortillas Put a small amount of hoisin sauce into each pancake and then spoon over the Mu Shu chicken in the middle. Wrap the pancake up and enjoy.

Tips and Variations:

1. Vegetarian Option: Swap tofu or tempeh for the chicken in Mu Shu to make it vegetarian.
   More Veggies: Also feel free to throw in other veg that you have lying around, a few sliced bell peppers, some snow peas or zucchini, the more colors, and textures, therein lies the beauty of this method.
2. Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free soy sauce and serve with gluten-free wraps or lettuce leaves in place of tacos for the same filling, but a lighter option.
3. Make Ahead: The chicken and vegetable mixture can be made ahead of time. Reheat and prepare the pancakes as needed. When the pancakes for Mu Shu are not available you can use small flour tortillas or the same with lettuce wraps
4. Make It Spicy: Mix a bit of sriracha or chili flakes in the sauce if you want it to be spicy.
