Return meat and eggs to vegetables, add 2 teaspoon hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and sugar. Combine well. Spread each Chinese pancake with hoisin sauce. Add a good 2 T of filling to bottom 1/2 of each pancake and roll up like crepes. Serve.

2 cups flour, sifted
3/4 cup hot water
1 teaspoon sesame oil
extra oil to brush pancake

Combine ingredients and knead until smooth. Separate into 16-20 portions and roll out into thin pancakes 6-7 inches in diameter. Cook two pieces at a time. Brush one pancake lightly with sesame oil. Place another pancake on top and press lightly just to join. Brown each side in a teflon pan without oil at medium heat. Remove from heat and throw on counter top.
