  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 3 scallions, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 4-6 Mandarin pancake wrappers or flour tortillas
  • Optional: hoisin sauce, chili sauce for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. Combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch in a bowl, add chicken, and toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. In a large wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat, add marinated chicken, and cook until lightly browned (3-4 minutes). Remove and set aside.

  4. Add shredded cabbage, carrots, and mushrooms; stir-fry until tender-crisp.
  5. Return chicken to the pan, mix well, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  6. Warm Mandarin pancakes or tortillas, spoon Moo Shu chicken mixture into each, and fold into a wrap.
  7. Serve immediately, with optional hoisin or chili sauce if desired.
