In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour with the boiling water. Mix until a dough forms. Knead for 5 minutes until smooth, then cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 30 minutes.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten slightly. Brush the top of one piece with sesame oil and stack another piece on top. Roll the stacked pieces into a thin circle, about 6-7 inches wide. Repeat with the remaining dough, creating 6 pairs total.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook each rolled pancake stack for 1-2 minutes on each side until light brown spots appear. Carefully peel the two pancakes apart while warm. Cover with a clean towel to keep warm.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, cornstarch, and water. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic and ginger, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and snow peas to the wok. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Pour the sauce mixture over the vegetables. Stir well to coat and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in sliced green onions.
Serve the Moo Shu vegetables hot with the prepared Chinese pancakes. Spread a small amount of hoisin sauce on a pancake, add a scoop of vegetables, and roll it up to enjoy.
