AUTHENTIC CHINESE MU SHU CHICKEN:
Mandarin Pancakes
Tips for perfect pancakes: non-stick pan, good rubber spatula for lifting the cooked pancake out, and quick distribution of the batter over the skillet before the pancake takes form.
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ tsp salt
2 tsps toasted sesame oil
¾ cup milk
2 eggs
Combine flour and salt in bowl. Combine milk, egg whites, and egg in another bowl and whisk. Gradually add to flour mixture, stirring with whisk until smooth.
Pour into non stick skillet over medium low heat that has been LIGHTLY buttered (the less the better). Tilt pan in all directions to cover bottom. Let cook for 2 minutes, then turn with rubber spatula. Cook for 1 minute.

Mu Shu Chicken
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 bunch green onions (1 cup chopped)
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 (8 ounce) package cabbage coleslaw mix
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 cup sherry wine or other wine
1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 (8 ounce) package broccoli coleslaw mix
1 cup shredded carrots, optional
8 small flour tortillas (8-inch)
hoisin sauce or plum sauce, to taste
Heat the peanut and sesame oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet on medium.
Slice the green onions, using all the whites and enough of the tender green tops to make about 1 cup.
Immediately add the onions, shredded cabbage mix and mushrooms to the skillet.
Raise the heat to high and cook to soften vegetables, stirring from time to time.
Meanwhile, cut the chicken through its width (the short way) into 1/4 inch wide strips, adding strips to the skillet as you slice.
Mix the cornstarch into the sherry and add it to the skillet along with the soy sauce and garlic.
Stir well.
Add the broccoli slaw and carrots (if desired) and stir.
Continue to stir fry, stirring frequently, about 5 to 7 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink.
Just before serving, put the tortillas on a plate and microwave, uncovered, 1 minute 30 seconds to warm through.
To serve, spread hoisin sauce to taste on each torilla (1/2 to 1 tsp) and spread 1/2 cup filing on each tortilla.
Roll up, burrito sytle.
Serve at once.
