- 60 grams shredded carrots
- 25 grams sliced green onions

- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
Aromatics

Instructions
Cooking the Chicken
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
- Add the chicken strips and cook for 3 minutes. Turn and cook for an additional 3 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
Cooking the Eggs
- Pour the lightly beaten eggs into the same pan. Cook until softly set, stirring gently. Remove the cooked eggs from the pan and set them aside.
Cooking the Vegetables
- Add sliced mushrooms, shredded cabbage, carrots, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the pan. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until the cabbage wilts and the vegetables are tender.
Combining Ingredients
- Return the cooked chicken and eggs to the pan. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, water, rice vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt until smooth.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the filling.
Serving the Wraps
- Transfer the warm filling to flour tortillas or mandarin pancakes. Garnish each serving with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro.
Notes
Ensure that the chicken is cooked thoroughly before adding the eggs back in. Feel free to add different vegetables such as bell peppers or bean sprouts for extra crunch. For a spicier kick, add some chili sauce or red pepper flakes to the sauce mix. You can easily adapt the recipe by switching out the chicken for other proteins like pork, shrimp, or tofu for a vegetarian version.
