Instructions
1
In a mixing bowl, combine the pork strips with salt, black pepper, and Chinese five spice powder. Toss until the pork is evenly coated and set aside to marinate.
2
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering.
3
Add the shredded red cabbage to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3 minutes until it begins to soften.
4
Next, add the marinated pork to the pan and continue to stir-fry for an additional 3 minutes, or until the pork is browned and cooked through.
5
Incorporate the drained water chestnuts and sliced mushrooms into the mixture, stir-frying for an additional 3-5 minutes until the mushrooms have softened.
6
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the beef broth and cornstarch until smooth, then pour this mixture into the skillet with the pork and vegetables.
7
Continue cooking for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and becomes clear.
8
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the hoisin sauce and soy sauce, mixing well to combine all the flavors.
9
Lay a warmed tortilla flat on a clean surface and spread about 1/2 cup of the pork filling down the center. Roll the tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go to form a wrap. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Serve the roll-ups warm, and drizzle with additional hoisin or soy sauce if desired.
