Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger
- 3 cups shredded green cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 4 scallions, sliced
- 0.25 cup hoisin sauce
- 8 flour tortillas (8-inch)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce and cornstarch. Add the chicken strips to the mixture and let marinate for 10 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, prep the vegetables by shredding the cabbage and carrots, slicing the scallions, and mincing the garlic and ginger.
In a small bowl, beat the eggs with sesame oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook, stirring constantly, until scrambled and set. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for 4-5 minutes until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the garlic and ginger to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the shredded cabbage and carrots, and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened but still slightly crunchy.
Return the cooked chicken and scrambled eggs to the skillet, along with the sliced scallions. Stir in the hoisin sauce and mix until all ingredients are evenly coated. Cook for 1-2 minutes until heated throughout. Remove from heat.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
Place a generous scoop of the Mou Shu Chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Fold up the bottom edge, then roll the sides over to form a wrap.
Serve warm and enjoy your Mou Shu Chicken Wraps with extra hoisin sauce, if desired.
