## Vegetarian Moo Shu Wraps
### Ingredients:
– 1 block firm tofu, drained and pressed
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
– 1 onion, thinly sliced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
– 1 cup cabbage, thinly sliced
– 1 carrot, julienned
– 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
– 1/4 cup bamboo shoots, sliced
– 1/4 cup water chestnuts, sliced
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 8 large flour tortillas
– Hoisin sauce, for serving
– Sriracha, for serving
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish
### Instructions:
1. Begin by preparing the tofu. Cut the tofu into thin strips and place them in a bowl. Drizzle with soy sauce and hoisin sauce, tossing gently to coat. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the marinated tofu strips and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil and sesame oil. Stir in the sliced onion and garlic, cooking until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
4. Add the shiitake mushrooms, cabbage, carrot, bell pepper, bamboo shoots, and water chestnuts to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Return the cooked tofu to the skillet. Drizzle with rice vinegar and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine all ingredients.
6. To assemble the wraps, warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable. Spoon a generous amount of the tofu and vegetable mixture onto each tortilla.
7. Drizzle with additional hoisin sauce and sriracha, if desired. Garnish with fresh cilantro before rolling up the wraps.
8. Serve the Vegetarian Moo Shu Wraps warm, either whole or sliced into bite-sized pieces for sharing.
