Ingredients
To make Moo Shu Mushroom Wraps for 5 servings (10 wraps), you’ll need these key ingredients. Each one adds a layer of flavor or texture to this vibrant dish:
- Sesame or Canola Oil (4 tsp, divided): Used for cooking eggs and veggies, adding subtle flavor.
- Large Eggs (4, lightly beaten): Provide protein and a soft, fluffy texture.
- Sliced Fresh Mushrooms (½ lb): Add savory, earthy flavor.
- Broccoli Coleslaw Mix (1 package, 12 oz): Offers crunchy cabbage and carrots for the base.
- Garlic Cloves (2, minced): Brings aromatic, savory depth.
- Minced Fresh Gingerroot (2 tsp): Adds warm, spicy zing.
- Rice Vinegar (2 tbsp): Provides tangy acidity.
- Reduced-Sodium Soy Sauce (2 tbsp): Adds savory, umami flavor.
- Sriracha Chili Sauce (2 tsp): Brings a mild, spicy kick.
- Fresh Bean Sprouts (1 cup): Add crisp, fresh texture.
- Hoisin Sauce (½ cup): Sweet, savory spread for the tortillas.
- Flour Tortillas (10, 6-inch, warmed): Soft wraps for the filling.
- Green Onions (6, sliced): Provide fresh, mild onion flavor.
Substitutions and Variations:
- Eggs: Swap with scrambled tofu or omit for a vegan option.
- Mushrooms: Use shiitake, cremini, or portobello for different flavors.
- Broccoli Coleslaw Mix: Replace with regular coleslaw mix, shredded cabbage, or julienned veggies like zucchini.
- Soy Sauce: Use tamari (gluten-free) or coconut aminos for a soy-free option.
- Sriracha: Substitute with chili garlic sauce, gochujang, or omit for less heat.
- Hoisin Sauce: Swap with plum sauce or a mix of soy sauce and honey.
- Tortillas: Use corn tortillas (gluten-free), lettuce wraps, or rice paper for a different wrap.
- Add-Ons: Include shredded chicken, pork, or shrimp for extra protein, or add peanuts for crunch.
Why These Ingredients Matter: The eggs and mushrooms provide protein, while the coleslaw mix and bean sprouts add fiber, vitamins, and crunch. The hoisin and sauces deliver bold, Asian-inspired flavors, making this a balanced, nutrient-rich meal that’s both light and satisfying.
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Eggs
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tsp sesame or canola oil over medium heat.
- Pour in 4 lightly beaten eggs and cook, stirring gently, for 2-3 minutes until thickened and no liquid egg remains.
- Remove eggs to a plate and set aside.
Tip: Stir gently to create soft curds, and avoid overcooking to keep the eggs tender.
Step 2: Cook the Veggies
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining 3 tsp oil over medium-high heat.
- Add ½ lb sliced fresh mushrooms and cook, stirring, for 4-5 minutes until tender.
- Add 1 package (12 oz) broccoli coleslaw mix, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tsp minced fresh gingerroot; cook for 1-2 minutes longer until the slaw is crisp-tender.
Tip: Keep the veggies moving to prevent burning, and cook until just softened for maximum crunch.
Step 3: Add Sauce and Combine
- In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 2 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce, and 2 tsp Sriracha chili sauce.
- Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the veggies.
- Stir in 1 cup fresh bean sprouts and the cooked eggs; cook for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
Tip: Adjust Sriracha to taste for more or less heat, and toss gently to avoid breaking the eggs.
Step 4: Assemble the Wraps
- Warm 10 (6-inch) flour tortillas (microwave for 20-30 seconds or heat in a dry skillet).
- Spread about 2 tsp hoisin sauce over each tortilla, leaving a ¼-inch border.
- Spoon ½ cup of the veggie-egg mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
- Sprinkle with about 1 tbsp sliced green onions per wrap.
- Roll up tightly, folding in the sides like a burrito.
Tip: Don’t overfill to ensure easy rolling; spread hoisin evenly for consistent flavor.
Step 5: Serve
- Arrange 2 wraps per plate (for 5 servings) or serve family-style on a platter.
- Serve immediately with extra hoisin or Sriracha on the side, if desired.
Tip: Serve fresh to enjoy the warm tortillas and crisp veggies at their best.
