This recipe for Moo Shu Tofu is perfect for an easy-to-make satisfying dinner with loads of flavor.  Hoisin sauce makes it a breeze adding lots of umami and bright flavor.  Serve wrapped in a rice pancake or tortilla, or over a serving of brown rice. (There are so many options for wraps these days!  Use your favorite kind.)

What does Moo Shu taste like?

The Moo Shu I am familiar with is what I grew up eating at American Chinese restaurants and I’ve always loved it!

Our version here boasts quick stir-fried vegetables: tender-crisp bell pepper and bok choy with savory meaty shiitakes and crispy tofu.  Topped with fresh crunchy bean sprouts then wrapped in a tortilla or rice pancake and served with a sweet-tart hoisin-based sauce.  So good and so easy!

Hoisin is a fragrant tangy sauce perfect for perking up stir-fries, great for marinades, and adds depth to grilling.  It is usually made from a combination of fermented soybeans, vinegar, garlic, chilies and sesame oil and sweetener.  It is a popular ingredient readily available at most natural markets or Asian markets.
