Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep the pancakes; soak the mushrooms

  • Remove 8 [16] Mandarin pancakes from the package; save the rest for another use. Let the pancakes come to room temperature.
In a small sauce pot, combine the shiitake mushrooms and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
While the mushrooms soak, prepare the pork.

2

Prep and cook the pork

  • Cut a small corner from the pork packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt and pepper.
In a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, add the pork and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned but not yet cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add more oil between batches if needed. Do not clean the pan.
While the pork cooks, prepare the remaining ingredients.

3

Prep the remaining ingredients

  • Drain the mushrooms; discard the stems and thinly slice the caps.
  • Trim the root ends from the scallions; thinly slice the scallions on the diagonal.
  • Coarsely chop the cilantro for garnish.

4

Cook the vegetables; finish the pork

In the same pan used for the pork, if dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons oil. Warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Stir in the cabbage and carrots, season with salt and pepper, and cook until just starting to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms, stir-fry blend, and pork and any accumulated juices. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the pork is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the scallions, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Working with 1 Mandarin pancake at a time, spread on a thin layer of hoisin, top with the vegetables and pork, garnish with the cilantro, and roll up like a burrito.
