Mu Shu for the Lazy

Collection: Vegetarian Recipes

Ingredients

  • 1 package of shredded vegetables (such as cole slaw mix)
  • taco sized white corn tortillas
  • tamari

Directions

Ok, this is completely unauthentic mu shu. But it's
enormously satisfying with minimal prep work. (Don't shoot
me, ok?)

Saute the shredded veggies in oil over way high heat until
wilted and smoky.

Boil some water in a seperate small pot
and steam tortillas by balancing a rack above the boiling
pot and placing the tortilla on the rack, then turning
over. (I like to use the water from the pot for fresh
brewed tea to drink with my mu shu.)

Add a few drops of
tamari to the veggies and roll them in the steamed
tortillas.

I personally just don't like hoisen sauce and always
request they don't put any in mine at the chinese
restaurant. But if you like it, buy some. I've seen it at
the grocery store. Put a spoonful of the hoisen sauce in
the tortilla before rolling.

I also enjoy how you can just "whip this up" really quickly
as a side dish to any main dish you might be making. It's
especially nice with fried rice or lomein.
