MOO SHU PANCAKES
I went web-surfing to see if I could find a recipe for homemade pancakes to go along with Toni Gifford's Moo Shu Vegies #137090 because I wanted an authentic taste and due to a little web-surfing this is what I found. I don't know how authentic it is but I'm willing to give it a try. Thanks for the idea Toni and thanks to Tom Fitzmorris for posting it. I haven't made this yet so times are just a guesstimate but please feel free to change it.

Steps:
- Mix the salt into the flour with a fork. Pile the flour onto a clean counter and make a well in it with your fingers. Pour the oil into the well, followed by about half of the hot water. Mix the flour into the water and make into a dough, adding a little water at a time until you have a damp dough. Knead the dough for a bout 10 minutes or until smooth.
- Divide the dough into 18- 20 balls of about equal size. Flatten and roll them out into discs about 2-3 inches in diameter. Brush the tops of half of these with a little oil and place the other half of these on top. Dust with a little flour and roll out into thin pizza like circles about 6-8 inches across. Stack with waxed paper in between the pancakes.
- Heat a griddle or large ungreased skillet over medium-low heat. cook one at a time turning often until bubbles begin to form in the dough. Do not brown! With the tip of a knife seperate the pancake into two and place on a warm plate covered with a clean dampened towel mositened with hot water. Continue doing this until all the pancakes are done.

- Fill the crepes and roll them. Brown the crepes in a nonstick skillet, on all sides, adding a few drops of canola oil as necessary.
- Toss salad ingredients together. Arrange 2 crepes on each plate and top with salad.
Tips:
- To make the perfect wrapper, use a thin layer of oil and cook it over medium-high heat. This will create a crispy, golden-brown texture.
- Don't overfill the wrapper. Too much filling will make it difficult to fold and seal the pancake.
- Be careful not to overcook the pancake. It should be cooked through, but still have a slight chew to it.
- Serve the pancake hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include hoisin sauce, duck sauce, or plum sauce.
- If you're making the pancake ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply pan-fry over medium heat until warmed through.
