I cheated with the rice, no surprises there, and picked up some fried rice from the takeout place. I love takeout.

Printable Recipe
4 thin-sliced boneless, skinless chicken cutlets cut in small pieces
3 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, divided
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 12-ounce bag shredded mixed vegetables like broccoli slaw
1 cup fresh or frozen peas
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
chopped scallions
whole wheat tortilla's
Sriracha sauce
Heat 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken; cook, stirring occasionally, until done. Remove to a plate. Add the eggs to the pan, stirring gently, until just set, about 3 minutes. Remove to the plate with the chicken.
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, soy sauce and vinegar. Stir to combine. Keep cooking until the vegetables are just tender, about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the reserved eggs, chicken, peas and hoisin; cook, stirring and breaking up the scrambled eggs, until heated through, another 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Serve with warm whole-wheat tortillas, Asian hot sauce and extra hoisin. Warm the tortilla's for about 30 seconds in the microwave, if using.

What a delicious looking recipe. It is getting close to dinner and I am super hungry. Wish I had a plate of your Moo Shu Chicken right now!
ReplyDeleteI am SO hungry and this looks delicious! I love lots of dishes with chicken! ♥
ReplyDeleteThis looks great and I haven't had fried rice in ages-yum:@)
ReplyDeleteI want this for dinner tonight!
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious, and so much better when it's homemade! And healthy too -- what a combination!
ReplyDeleteMouth is watering!!!!
ReplyDeleteThese photos make me so hungry. I never get take out but I think I'm going to have to change my ways. Looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteVery nice and spicy meal,Carol..It will make an excellent addition to my Chinese recipes! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious, sweets! I never would've thought to use WW tortillas.
ReplyDeleteBtw, if Ms. Picky likes vegetables, she isn't so picky, after all. Somebody please, pass the torch onto Mr. Man-pants.
When my parents used to have a resto, moo shu chicken is the one dish that they make all the time served with a dollop of peanut butter sauce. You definitely did a great job at making this dish.
ReplyDeletePerfect recipe to celebrate Chinese New Year; really looks good.
ReplyDeleteRita
It sounds really good!
ReplyDeleteThis looks really good! Too funny about the takeout rice. I wanted to make rice the other day and thought it would be so much easier just to get some from the Chinese Take Out place! Great minds think alike! Hope you have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteMushu chicken is my favorite. Can't wait to try your homestyle version. It looks fabulous and Kudos for the take-out fried rice. Good call.
ReplyDeleteI just have an appetite for chicken Carol! It just looks delicious and little cheating is not bad, not bad at all!
ReplyDeleteYum, I love Chinese food and want to start making it at home to control the fat and sugar content. This meal looks delicious. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so dang appetizing and I want to devour the whole dish now!!
ReplyDeleteLove Moo Shu! I used to make it all the time when my girls lived at home because they loved it too. There is nothing better than take out fried rice either :)
ReplyDeleteI see you updated to the new Blogger comment format --I couldn't leave a comment using Internet Explorer. I hope they solve that problem soon.
ReplyDeleteI love Asian flavors and this looks tasty and easy to make -- a good one!
Looks good! We're going for long(-evity) noodles this weekend as it's Chinese New Year. Gong Xi Fa Cai! Wishing you a prosperous, auspicious and joyous Year of the Dragon.
ReplyDeleteI love Moo Shoo. I've never made it. I need to give it a try soon! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteMoo shu is one of my favorite dishes which makes sense considering my deep love for hoisin sauce. Yours looks delish and I love that you wrapped it like it traditionally is :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't had moo shu anything in a LONG time...need to fix that. I love the sound of this recipe! so healthy and veggie-full!
ReplyDeleteThis looks really good and really simple to me! Thanks for sharing a great recipe!
ReplyDeleteMary
I love take out fried rice too. The Moo Shu looks delicious. I usually make my Moo Shu with pork tenderloin. I will definitely try the chicken next time.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of this served in a whole wheat tortilla, Carol. Great recipe, too. Years ago, in the 50's, while in the Air Force, a Chinese friend gave me a basic fried rice recipe and I've used it ever since.
ReplyDeleteYou know what? I happen to love Chinese takeout...especially the rice! This sounds like an awesome meal :D
ReplyDeleteOh wow, this looks so tasty and easy. I'm going to have to try it.
ReplyDeleteMoo Shu is always one of my favourites-you can make it mild or hot. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteEasy, fresh and good. I would like it with and without the chicken. Yum.
ReplyDeleteCarol, this recipe sounds easy and yummy. With the reduced sodium maybe even my hubby would like it too. Thanks for sharing another great recipe. I hope you are having a Happy Weekend!
ReplyDeleteOur daughter gave us a small wok for Christmas and I've been looking for new recipes to use with it. I'm copying this one. I'll need to buy some of the ingredients but I want to give this a try this coming week. Thank you Carol.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy it, Margot! A new wok, that's a great gift!
DeleteThanks to everyone for stopping by and leaving the nice comments!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty presentation! Sounds like a winner.
ReplyDeleteWow, this looks good. Looks quite diet-friendly too! Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhen I order moo shu pork or chicken at a restaurant, they always have too much vegetable. I like your big chunks of chicken. :)
ReplyDeleteMore chicken less vegetables sounds good!
ReplyDeleteHey, you changed your avitar. I didn't recognize you without the wine bottle!
I'm not sure I could handle the tortilla with the Chinese food, but otherwise it looks pretty good!
ReplyDeleteYour recipe sounds fantastic and so healthy! I like the idea of serving whole wheat tortillas. Your serving bowl and plates are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI sure hope the people in your house appreciate all of your delicious food. If not, I'm free for dinner!

Carol, This is such a favorite in my house!! I love home made Chinese food!
ReplyDeleteHi Carol,
ReplyDeleteYum, our household loves this dish, too.
Very yummy mosaic!!
This looks so yummy! And it's perfect for Chinese New Year!
ReplyDeleteThis looks yummy! Hubby and I just said that we needed to sit down tonight and plan a two week healthy menu. Looks like this will be added. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow! looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteHow fun!
ReplyDeleteMoo shu is my favorite thing to order when we have Chinese...though for me it's vegetables...I have never attempted to make it myself, but your recipe actually looks doable for me :)
ReplyDeleteThe broc slaw is a good idea
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a whole bowl of healthy. Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteWow Carol, your moo shu looks delicious, like it especially with lots of veggies in it :)
ReplyDeleteit looks simply healthy and delicious, such a perfect meal
ReplyDeleteIn time for a Chinese New Year feast! Looks so simple yet delicious!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried Broccoli slaw, though bought some for son and he said it was good, even had a recipe on the back of the bag for a salad. Will have to give it a try.
