Not Your Average Fried Bologna Sandwich
Inspired by Vietnamese banh mi, here’s a twist on a favourite sandwich. The pan-Asian glaze gives our signature bologna a sweet-spicy kick. Choose crusty buns to be a little more traditional, although softer buns make it easier to eat.
2 tbsp (30 mL) Vegetable oil, divided
1 (114 g) Package shitake mushrooms
1 1/2 tsp (7 mL) Chinese 5 Spice
1/3 cup (80 mL) Hoisin sauce
2 tbsp (30 mL) Sriracha sauce
16-20 Slices Schneiders® Country Naturals® Bologna
4 Hamburger buns, lightly toasted
1 cup (250 mL) Kimchi
Heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) of oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
Sauté mushrooms with Chinese 5 spice until golden brown. Set aside and keep warm.
Stir together hoisin and sriracha in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat remaining oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Working in batches, fry slices of bologna. Baste with hoisin/sriracha mixture as you go.
Assemble sandwiches by placing 4-5 slices of fried bologna on the bottom of each bun. Top with shitake mushrooms, kimchi and the top of the bun.
Notes:
Top with quick pickled radishes, onions, and cucumbers in place of kimchi, if you prefer.
