Mushu Chicken Wraps are a classic Chinese take-out item that are easy and fast to make at home. We last featured this recipe in 2018, and it got great reviews for being quick and using few dishes to cook. Tortillas make a great stand-in for the authentic 'mushu' wrappers.

Servings:

Mushu Chicken Wraps:

Soy sauce, low-sodium - 2 Tbsp
Mirin - 1 Tbsp (sub rice vinegar)
Brown sugar - 2 tsp
Water - 1/2 cup
Cornstarch - 1 Tbsp
Carrots - 8 oz , finely diced
Mushrooms, shiitakes - 8 oz , sliced (look for pre-sliced)
Green onions - 2 stalks , chopped, green and white parts separate
Garlic - 3 cloves , chopped
Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless - 1 lb , thinly sliced
Oil, cooking - 1 Tbsp
Coleslaw mix - 10 oz (sub thinly sliced cabbage)
Tortillas, flour and taco-sized - 8
Hoisin sauce - for serving (sub Sriracha)

Prep

Make stir-fry sauce - Mix together soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, water, and cornstarch. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
Carrots - Dice carrots. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
Mushrooms / Green onions / Garlic - Prep as directed. Store separately. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
Chicken - Slice into thin strips. Season with some salt and pepper and tenderize with a fork. (Can be done 1 day ahead)

Make

Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add oil and then carrots and mushrooms. Saute until tender, ~3 minutes.
Add in white parts of green onions, garlic, and coleslaw mix with a pinch of salt. Saute for 2 minutes to get coleslaw started cooking.
Push all the vegetables to the side, forming a hole in the middle (like a donut). Place chicken in the donut hole. Give your sauce a stir, and then pour it over the chicken.
Once sauce starts to bubble and darken, toss to mix. Continue to stir-fry until chicken is cooked through (since the chicken has been sliced into thin strips, this shouldn't take more than another 4 to 5 minutes).
Warm tortillas according to package directions.
Let everyone assemble their own mushu wraps using hoisin (or Sriracha), filling, and green parts of green onion. Enjoy!
