Ingredients

  1. 2 cups shredded cabbage

  3. 1 cup shredded carrots
  4. 2 green onions, chopped
  5. 2 tbsp soy sauce
  6. 2 tbsp hoisin sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare all ingredients by washing and chopping vegetables: shred cabbage into thin strips, slice mushrooms, shred carrots, and chop green onions.
  2. Heat sesame oil in a large wok or wide skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering and fragrant.
  3. Add mushrooms first and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they begin to release their moisture and start to brown slightly.
  4. Introduce shredded carrots to the wok and continue stir-frying for another 2 minutes, ensuring vegetables are evenly heated and maintain a crisp texture.
  5. Add shredded cabbage and continue to stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, tossing ingredients quickly to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
  6. Pour soy sauce and hoisin sauce over the vegetables, stirring thoroughly to coat all ingredients with the savory sauce.
  7. Sprinkle chopped green onions over the stir-fry and give a final quick toss to integrate all flavors.
  8. Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking and maintain vegetable crispness.
  9. Serve hot, optionally with steamed rice or wrapped in thin pancakes for a traditional Moo Shu style presentation.

Tips

  1. Prep is Key: Chop all vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking and professional-looking results.
  2. High Heat Magic: Use a wok or wide skillet and keep the heat high to achieve that authentic stir-fry sear and prevent soggy vegetables.
  3. Sauce Layering: Add soy and hoisin sauces gradually to control flavor intensity and prevent over-seasoning.
  4. Quick Tossing Technique: Keep ingredients moving constantly to prevent burning and maintain crisp texture.
  5. Serve Immediately: Stir-fries are best enjoyed hot and fresh, so time your cooking to serve right away.
  6. Optional Enhancements: Consider adding protein like tofu or scrambled eggs for extra nutrition.
  7. Garnish Wisely: Fresh green onions or sesame seeds can add a beautiful finishing touch to your dish.
