So here's one we discovered while we were off of blog duty. This is a super, simple Eating Well recipe that makes a better Mu Shu than I have ever had in a restaurant - without the salt overload the following day that bumps my weight in an unpleasant fashion. This is made with bagged broccoli or "rainbow" slaw and bean shoots (a favorite ingredient of mine) for a very fresh flavor. Instead of regular pancakes you wrap in whole wheat tortillas, which add a depth that I expected to be horrible and turns out to be excellent. Everyone should make this. Unless you don't like hoisin sauce (Mom, I mean you).

Prep notes
Difficulty: Super easy
Chopping: Ginger, garlic, clementines
Time: 30 minutes
Make ahead: Just so long as you don't wrap the pancakes, it's fine.

Reaction
J: "The best Mu Shu EVER!"
M: "Better than delivery!"
