Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Shiitake mushrooms (fresh or rehydrated dried)
- 2 cups Cabbage (shredded)
- 1 large Carrot (julienned)
- 1 medium Zucchini (julienned)
- 3 stalks Green onions (sliced)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Ginger (minced)
- 2 large Eggs (beaten)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Instructions
Prepare the vegetables: thinly slice the shiitake mushrooms and shred or julienne the cabbage, carrot, and zucchini. Slice the green onions and mince the garlic and ginger.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them until fully cooked. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and heat until shimmering.
Add the garlic and ginger, stirring until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the mushrooms, cabbage, carrot, and zucchini to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Stir in the scrambled eggs and green onions.
Add the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil to the skillet. Stir well to coat all the ingredients evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Taste and adjust seasonings, if desired.
Serve the Mu Shu Vegetables warm with Mandarin pancakes or large lettuce leaves. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, if using, for added texture and flavor.
