Isn’t Moo Shu such a fun dish? It’s kinda like nachos; you can eat it the original way, or stack them high, make a crunchy salad out of them. With Moo Shu, you can wrap them up like you’re supposed to, or use the pancake as a big fork thing...

For the Chinese Pancakes
- Step 1
Pour the flour into a large bowl. Bring water to a boil, and slowly pour the hot water in, stirring the flour, then pour the cold water in.

Cover with a wet towel and set aside for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Step 4
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Roll the dough into a log, then cut into 20 sections.

Brush oil on the top of one section and the bottom of another, then press the two together. Roll the overlapped pancake into a large circle.

After finishing, separate each pancake into two and serve while still warm.
