 Directions

Minced Seasonings 6 cloves garlic, minced 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh
ginger

Sauce 3 tablespoons chicken broth 2 tablespoons rice wine or sake 1
tablespoon soy sauce 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon sugar 1/4
teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Marinate armadillo: In a medium-sized bowl, combine marinade ingredients.
Add armadillo and toss lightly to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and
refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Mix minced seasonings: In a small bowl, combine garlic and ginger; set
aside.

Make sauce: In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients and blend well; set
aside.

Stir-fry mu shu filling: Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat, add
1/2 tablespoon of the vegetable oil and heat until very hot. Add the
marinated armadillo and stir-fry until the meat is cooked through, about 2
minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Cook down any remaining
juices to a glaze and add to the armadillo. Add another 1/2 tablespoon oil
to the wok and heat until very hot. Add eggs and stir-fry, scrambling them
until just dry. Remove and set aside.

Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil and heat until very hot, add the
reserved minced seasoning and stir-fry until fragrant, 10 to 15 seconds.
Add cabbage and mushrooms and stir-fry until tender, about 2 minutes. Pour
in the reserved sauce mixture and stir constantly until thickened, about 1
minute. Return the armadillo and eggs to the pan and toss until heated
through. Stir in scallions. Transfer to a platter.

To serve, spread some hoisin sauce over a steamed pancake or tortilla,
spoon some of the stir-fried mixture on top, roll up and eat. Walt
