MOO SHU CHICKEN WITH MANDARIN PANCAKES
This is a decidedly American version of moo shu chicken, but fast to make! The Mandarin pancakes, also called moo shu shells, can be found in almost any Asian market, but feel free to use flour tortillas. Keep in mind the moo shu shells are much thinner than a typical flour tortilla, and have a different (pasta-like) taste.

- Mix hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, oyster sauce, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and Chinese five-spice powder together in a bowl. Add chicken strips and let marinate for 10 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large wok over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken. Stir-fry until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a bowl. Wipe out wok.
- Pour remaining tablespoon sesame oil into wok over medium-high heat. Add shiitake mushrooms, napa cabbage, carrots, red cabbage, and scallions; stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Pour in water.
- Pour beaten egg into vegetable mixture; stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes. Add cooked chicken and stir-fry to combine.

MANDARIN PANCAKES
These thin pancakes are typically used for wrapping moo shu pork or Peking duck. They're made with a hot water dough, which makes them very easy to roll out. Stacking two disks of dough, rolling them out, cooking them, then carefully peeling them apart lets you make pancakes that are half as thin as a single pancake would be - and prepared in nearly half the amount of time.

Steps:
- Place flour in a medium bowl. Add the boiling water in a thin stream while stirring with chopsticks or a wooden spoon. It helps to set the bowl in a heavy saucepan lined with a dish towel to keep it stable, or a friend stabilize the bowl as you do this. Add the cold water in a thin stream, continuing to mix the whole time. Stir the mixture until it turns into a shaggy ball, then dump the ball out onto a lightly floured work surface.
- Knead the dough with your hands until it forms a smooth ball, about 5 minutes. Cover the dough ball with a damp dish towel and let rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes or up to a couple hours.
- Roll the dough into a log roughly 10 inches long, then cut it in half crosswise. Line up the two small logs, then section each one in 6ths to form 12 pieces (for approximate 8-inch pancakes); in 8ths for 16 pieces (for approximate 7-inch pancakes) or in 10ths for 20 pieces (for approximate 6-inch pancakes).
- Roll two pieces into smooth balls between your hands, working with one piece at a time. Then, using a rolling pin or wine bottle, gently roll each of the two pieces into circular disks about 1/4-inch thick. (You'll cook two pieces at a time and proceed through the end of Step 7 before rolling out the remaining balls.)
- Brush the top of one disk with a thin, even layer of oil, then stack the second disk on top. Using a rolling pin, roll the stacked disks into a 6- to 8-inch circle. The size will depend on the number of balls you made in Step 3.
- Heat a cast-iron, carbon steel, or nonstick skillet over medium until a drop of water flicked onto the surface immediately bubbles and evaporates (about 2 minutes), then add the rolled, stacked disk. Let cook on one side until blistered and browned in spots, about 1 minute. Flip and cook until second side is blistered and browned. Sometimes the pancakes will bubble up with steam as they cook, preventing the second side from making good contact with the pan. You can gently press down on them with a flat spatula if this happens.
- Remove the cooked disk, then carefully peel it apart into two thin pancakes while still hot. Transfer to a plate and cover with a clean dish towel.
- Repeat Steps 4 through 7 for the remaining dough balls, adjusting heat as necessary to make sure the pancakes brown in spots but don't blacken. Finished pancakes should be served while still warm. To store leftovers, place the pancakes on large squares of plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then roll them up like a jelly roll and refrigerate. Reheat covered in the microwave, or briefly heat one at a time in a hot, dry skillet.

- Before you begin, if you use dried wood ear mushrooms and shiitake, they need to be reconstituted first. Soak the wood ear in room temperature water for 30-40 minutes (check after 20 minutes as you might need to add more water). Soak the shiitake in hot water for 1 - 1.5 hours. They will puff up and return to the original texture. This dish is all about preparation. The actual cook time is fairly short so please read through the recipe first before you begin.
- Chicken - Halve the chicken breast then slice to thin strips. Add them to a bowl with the seasonings. Set it aside in the fridge.
- Preheat a large saute pan or wok over medium heat until it feels warm to your palm, when placing it 2-3 inches away. Add 1 tbsp oil. Add the eggs and swirl it around the pan. As soon as the eggs form shape, break it up to make soft scrambled eggs. Scrop out the eggs and set them aside.

- Stir together the light soy sauce, sesame oil, hoisin sauce, white pepper, and salt, and set aside.
- Heat your wok over high heat with ½ tablespoon oil, and stir-fry the julienned carrots for 90 seconds, remove and set aside. Using the same method, with ½ tablespoon oil each--cook the five-spiced tofu, celery, red bell pepper, and shiitake mushrooms separately, and set those aside. Be careful not to overcook the vegetables. 90 seconds is really all you need––or you’ll have a mushy moo shu filling!
- Next, heat the wok over high heat with the remaining tablespoon of oil, and add the minced garlic and leeks.
- Stir fry the vegetables until the leeks are just wilted (about 2 minutes), and add the carrots, five-spiced tofu, celery, bell pepper, and mushrooms back to the wok.
