Hoisin Mushroom and Cabbage Wraps: a one pan, quick and easy supper the entire family will devour!
We’ve had a couple of busy weeks back-to-back, but the good kind of busy. Where you’re rushing to unpack and do all the laundry before the next weekend getaway arrives. I find that I scramble quite a bit in these types of weeks with our dinners. Usually I’m attempting to develop and test recipes, but I couldn’t during those weeks as we were hardly here. Instead, I fell back to some of my favourite recipes that I can whip up quickly and that everyone will enjoy, like these Hoisin Mushroom and Cabbage Wraps.
Hoisin is a perfect gateway sauce to get kids to eat … well, pretty much anything. My kids won’t eat cabbage unless it’s slightly sautéd and mixed with sauce, preferably hoisin sauce. Toss in some mushrooms that amp up the flavour, but also create a greater sense of substance and a bit of ground pork to complete the meal. We usually enjoy these as a wrap-less “low-carb” version the next day as we almost always run out of wraps.
Hoisin sauce is generally available in most supermarkets (usually it’s right next to the soy sauce and the teriyaki sauce). It’s gained a lot of popularity over the past couple of years for its flavour. It’s sweet and salty without being too much of either.
What are your favourite meals to lean on without having to call for delivery? I also lean on this one pan chicken dish from Bon Appetit Magazine, or my One Pan Enchilada Quinoa Casserole. Both of which are healthy enough to make me feel like I’ve earned my wine by the time the weekend roles around.
PS – we totally called for delivery last week too.
