Instructions

1

Step 1

In a bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, oyster sauce, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and Chinese five-spice powder. Add the chicken strips and let them soak up all the flavors for about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Heat a tablespoon of sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the marinated chicken and stir-fry until it’s cooked through and no longer pink inside, around 5 minutes. Once done, transfer the chicken to a bowl and wipe the wok clean.

Step 3

Add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil to the wok and crank the heat back up. Throw in the shiitake mushrooms, napa cabbage, carrots, red cabbage, and scallions. Stir-fry the veggies until they’re just tender but still have a bit of crunch, about 3 minutes, then splash in a little water to help steam everything.

Step 4

Pour the beaten egg into the veggies and stir it around until it’s cooked through, which should only take a minute or two. Return the chicken to the wok and give everything a good mix to combine.

Step 5

Warm the mandarin pancakes in the microwave for 30 seconds to a minute until they’re nice and soft. Spoon the stir-fry mixture onto each pancake, then fold or roll them up like a little wrap. Enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

Serve with a side of steamed rice or a light Asian-inspired salad. Adding some sliced cucumbers or fresh herbs like cilantro can brighten the meal. A dipping sauce made from soy sauce and a touch of honey complements the flavors well.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave to keep the chicken tender. Keep the pancakes separate and warm them briefly before serving to maintain their texture.
