  1. Mu Shu was always my favorite! But the only restaurant I know of that had a vegetarian Mu Shu started consistently putting chicken in it! This is a great recipe.. I used hoisin sauce instead of peanut sauce because that's how I've always had it. Otherwise followed exactly. I actually really like the tortillas :) And the peanuts! I love the leeks! Couldn't ask for a better recipe.
     
  2. flour tortillas? are you kidding me???
     
  3. This is a good vegetarian mu shu that should satisfy your cravings for mu shu without the meat. I used all the ingredients except carrots or peanut sauce and used hoisin sauce and regular mu shu crepes. Thank you Dreamer for posting this recipe.
