Mu-Shu Chicken

Great Asian-inspired taste in a burrito-like wrap.

1/2 boneless, skinless chicken
1/4 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/3 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1/2 small onion, thinly sliced diagonally into 3 inch lengths
1 small carrot, julienned
6 fresh shiitake mushrooms, steamed discarded, cap sliced
2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon water
12 Mu Shu wrappers or small flour tortillas

Thinly slice chicken across the grain, then cut each slice into thin strips. Place in a bowl with marinade ingredients and stir to coat. Let stand for 10 minutes. Combine seasonings ingredients in a bowl. Set electric wok to 475 degrees F; heat for 2 minutes. Add cooking oil, ginger and onion; cook, stirring, until fragrant. Add chicken, asparagus, carrots and mushrooms; stir-fry for 3 minutes. Add seasonings and cornstarch solutions. Cook and stir, until sauce boils and thickens. To serve, place 1/3 chicken mixture in center of a Mu Shu wrapper or flour tortilla. Wrap like a burrito.
