This vegetarian version of the classic Chinese stir-fry, Moo Shu, uses already-shredded vegetables to cut down on the prep time. Serve with warm whole-wheat tortillas, Asian hot sauce and extra hoisin if desired.

Makes 4 servings, about 1 1/4 cups each

ACTIVE TIME: 20 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 20 minutes

EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy

3 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, divided
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 12-ounce bag shredded mixed vegetables, such as “rainbow salad” or “broccoli slaw”
2 cups mung bean sprouts
1 bunch scallions, sliced, divided
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce (see Shopping Tip)

1. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add eggs; cook, stirring gently, until set, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a plate.
2. Wipe out the pan and heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat. Add ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, 1 minute. Add shredded vegetables, bean sprouts, half the sliced scallions, soy sauce and vinegar. Stir to combine. Cover and cook, stirring once or twice, until the vegetables are just tender, about 3 minutes. Add the reserved eggs and hoisin; cook, uncovered, stirring and breaking up the scrambled eggs, until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining scallions and remove from the heat.

This recipe is going into my permanent rotation--it's very easy, full of good nutrition, and most importantly, super yummy. My kids liked it too.

I had this for breakfast this morning on a bed of brown rice. It was wonderful! I ripped the recipe out of my magazine so I could follow it while I cooked. It was easy, yummy, and satisfying.

Based on the other reviews I'm thinking I must have made it wrong. But both my boyfriend and I found it inedible and made something else for dinner instead. It was really fast and easy to cook which I always look for but the flavors weren't good and the texture was weird.

Melissa, Somerville, NJ

This recipe is wonderful. It comes together quickly and easily. I added 8 oz of sliced mushrooms with the rainbow salad and bean sprouts. Serve with additional hoisin sauce on the side.

This is really easy to make and it is delicious and healthy. We have it a few times a month now. Enjoy!!!

Tasted great but I made it according to the recipe except I used Eggbeaters and reduced the cholesterol by about 200 mg per serving.

Baker Boy, Roswell, GA

I agree with the reviewer that said it was inedible. I followed the recipe to a T so it must have been one of the ingredients we disliked even though each ingredient tasted fine separately. Already deleted this one from my saved recipes.

We thought this was a very tasty side dish. The hoisin flavor is quite subtle. (I think I will add more next time and the suggested hot sauce.) I did not cover the vegetables to cook, and they came out nice and tender-crisp. Served along side some chili-lime tofu.

Beth, Milwaukee, WI

We loved these veggies even more than our local Chinese take out. I didn't use the bean sprouts the first time and we liked it better without them. They made the dish too watery.

Nancy, West Chester, PA

My husband and I really liked this. (My kids wouldn't touch it, but they won't touch anything.) It was easy and delicious. I skipped the beansprouts, but otherwise followed the directions exactly. I've made it a few times now & will continue.

This is delicious! However, I did modify mine. Sesame oil is very strong and I was surprised to see 3 t. in the recipe. I'm not a huge fan so I used canola oil for the eggs and only 1/2 t. of sesame oil for the veggies. Also, I used napa cabbage instead of the bean sprouts. I wonder if some of the liquid at the end is from the eggs--if they are cooked already, they may be giving off liquid from being overcooked when added to the hot veggie mixture and cooked a little more. I will either way undercook them at the beginning or perhaps move the veggies over a bit and scramble them with the veggies. We'll see! Hoever, slotted spoons work wonders, and it wasn't too liquidy. The taste is great.

I followed this to a T and it was simply A MAZE ING!!! lol Seriously, it was really good. These recipes are a perfect fit for my daily food diary and my "Personal Choice Menu"! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
