       3 tb Chicken broth
       2 tb Rice wine or sake
       1 tb Soy sauce
       1 tb Corn flour (cornstarch)
            +=OR=+
       1 tb Arrowroot
     1/2 ts Sugar
     1/4 ts Fresh ground pepper

MMMMM------------------------GARNISHES------------------------------
       6 cl garlic, minced
   1 1/2 tb minced fresh ginger
       2    Green or red chilies; seeded
            - minced

   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.
