This recipe has a lot going for it: it’s quick (or, at least, quicker than many of the meals I cook), it’s easy, and it’s got some of my favorite vegetables (mushrooms, carrots, and cabbage!). I also love Asian flavors, and the flavors of the ginger, soy sauce, and hoisin sauce here are a great way to showcase the flavors of the veggies. The moo shu pancakes are surprisingly easy to make, even though I was initially suspicious of the technique of rolling out two pancakes together (with oil inbetween) – it worked out perfectly, and I had no problem peeling the pancakes apart after they’d cooked. And if you’re feeling a little lazier, you can buy moo shu pancakes instead of making your own, use tortillas, or even make lettuce wraps (making these a little lighter and adding a nice crispness).<\/span><\/p>\n

\nYield: 4 servings<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
• 1\/2 Tbsp + 1 Tbsp vegetable oil<\/span><\/li>\n

  Method:
  \n<\/p>\n

  \n
  1. In a large wok, heat 1\/2 Tbsp vegetable oil<\/em> over medium heat. Add 3 eggs, lightly beaten with a splash of soy sauce<\/em> and let cook, undisturbed, until the bottom is solid. Flip and let the other side solidify. Remove to a plate and cut into strips.<\/li>\n
  2. In the same wok, add another 1 Tbsp vegetable oil<\/em> and heat over medium high heat. Add 1 lb shiitake mushrooms, sliced<\/em> and cook until they soften and release their juices. Remove from pan and set aside.<\/li>\n
  3. Add 1\/2 head cabbage, chopped<\/em> to the wok and sautee until the cabbage has wilted. Add 2 – 3 carrots, shredded<\/em> and stir in. Clear a space in the middle of the wok, adding more vegetable oil if needed, and add 2 – 3 cloves garlic, minced<\/em>, 1\/2″ piece ginger, minced<\/em>, and 1 hot pepper, minced<\/em>, and sautee until fragrant, about 30 seconds.<\/li>\n
  4. Lower the heat slightly, and add the egg strips and shiitake mushrooms back to the pan, along with 1\/2 Tbsp soy sauce<\/em>, and stir thoroughly to combine. Taste and add salt and pepper, to taste<\/em>.\n
  5. Serve by heaping one of 8 moo shu pancakes<\/em> with about 1\/8th of the filling and dotting with hoisin sauce<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     Moo Shu Pancakes<\/span><\/strong> (adapted from Branny Boils Over<\/a>)
     \nYield: 8 pancakes<\/span><\/p>\n

     Ingredients:<\/p>\n

     \n
     • 2 cups all-purpose flour<\/span><\/li>\n
     • 3\/4 cup boiling water<\/span><\/li>\n
     • sesame oil<\/span>*<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

       *You can substitute vegetable oil here if you’d like.<\/p>\n

       Method:
       \n<\/p>\n

       \n
       1. Put 2 cups all-purpose flour<\/em> in a large mixing bowl, and add 3\/4 cup boiling water<\/em>. Mix with a fork until combined. Let cool.<\/li>\n
       2. Once the dough is cool to the touch, knead the dough in the bowl for 1 to 2 minutes until soft and smooth.<\/li>\n
       3. Form the dough into a rope and divide into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten with the palm of your hand, and set aside.<\/li>\n
       4. Take one flattened disk of dough and brush it thoroughly with sesame oil<\/em>. Place it oiled side up on your rolling surface, and top with another flattened disk of dough. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out into a large, thin circle approximately 1\/4″ – 1\/2″ thick. Repeat, making three more pairs of two pancakes each.<\/li>\n
       5. Heat a non-stick frying pan over low heat, then place one of the four (paired) pancakes in the pan. Cook for 1 minute on each side; you should see the middle of the pancake pair puff a bit, and the sesame oil will be fragrant.<\/li>\n
       6. Place in a covered casserole dish and set aside, then repeat with the remaining pancake pairs.<\/li>\n
       7. Let cool approximately 5 minutes, after which they should be soft and moist enough to be easily pulled apart. Keep them covered (to retain moisture) in a warm oven until ready to serve.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
