Hi, I'm Rachel Edelman for About.com Food. Today I'm going to show you how to make moo shu beef wraps.
Moo Shu Beef Wrap Ingredients
For this recipe you will need:
- 1 pound sliced beef
- 3.5 oz. sliced shiitake mushrooms
- 2 cups packaged coleslaw mix
- 2/3 cup sliced green onions
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 1/4 cup water
- 8 medium flour tortillas
- 1/3 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp canola oil
- 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
Cook the Beef and Mushrooms
Heat oil in the pan. Pour in the beef, and then add the mushrooms. Cook the meat 2-3 minutes and then flip the slices over so it cooks on both sides. If needed, cook the beef in batches so there's room in the pan.
Add the Scallions and Coleslaw
Once all the meat and mushrooms are cooked, place them all back into the pan. Then add the scallions and the coleslaw. Mix and cook for another 3 minutes.
Mix the Moo Shu Sauce
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and cayenne pepper. Mix this sauce together.
Add the Sauce to the Skillet
Then pour it over the skillet. Next, pour the cornstarch mixture and stir everything together. Continue to heat the dish so the sauce bubbles and thickens.
Wrap the Moo Shu Beef in Warm Tortillas
Easily heat the tortillas by microwaving them for 10 seconds. Spread about 1 tbsp. of hoisin sauce on tortillas; then, place some of the beef mixture in the center of the circle. Fold bottom edge over the filling and fold right and left sides to center.
Serve the Moo Shu Beef Wraps
Hold the folded side with your fingers, lift, and enjoy!
