Note
If you cannot find frozen Chinese pancakes, you can substitute them with whole wheat crepes or even large flour tortillas, though the texture will differ slightly.
For a nuttier flavor, toss a tablespoon of roasted peanuts or cashews over the vegetables before rolling.
Ensure the wok is very hot before adding the vegetables to achieve a proper stir-fry sear rather than steaming them.
Hoisin sauce is quite sweet and salty; taste your stir-fry before adding extra soy sauce, as the hoisin will add significant saltiness.
Leftover stir-fried vegetables can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet with a splash of water to restore moisture.
