Moo Shu Vegetables

 

This vegetarian version of the classic Chinese stir-fry, Moo Shu, uses already-shredded vegetables to cut down on the prep time. Serve with warm whole-wheat tortillas, Asian hot sauce and extra hoisin if desired.

Prep Time:20 minutes
Ready in:20 minutes
Yield:4 servings, about 1 1/4 cups each
Ease of Prep:Easy
Recipe Ingredients
 3 teaspoons toasted sesame oil , divided
 4 large eggs , lightly beaten
 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
 2 cloves garlic , minced
 1 12-ounce bag shredded mixed vegetables , such as “rainbow salad” or “broccoli slaw”
 2 cups mung bean sprouts
 1 bunch scallions , sliced, divided
 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce (see Shopping Tip)


Recipe Directions
  1. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add eggs; cook, stirring gently, until set, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a plate.
  2. Wipe out the pan and heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat. Add ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, 1 minute. Add shredded vegetables, bean sprouts, half the sliced scallions, soy sauce and vinegar. Stir to combine. Cover and cook, stirring once or twice, until the vegetables are just tender, about 3 minutes. Add the reserved eggs and hoisin; cook, uncovered, stirring and breaking up the scrambled eggs, until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining scallions and remove from the heat.

Shopping tip: Hoisin sauce is a dark brown, thick, spicy-sweet sauce made from soybeans and a complex mix of spices. Look for it in the Asian section of your supermarket and in Asian markets.
