Cooking Steps
• Grate the carrot. • Cut cucumber in half horizontally, then slice lengthwise into thin strips.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. When oil is hot, cook pork strips until browned, 2-3 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded.). Transfer to a plate. • Return pan to medium-high heat with another drizzle of olive oil, if needed. Cook garlic paste and carrot until softened, 2-3 minutes. Return pork to pan, then add hoisin sauce and the soy sauce (for the glaze). Cook, tossing, until sticky, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, then cover to keep warm.
TIP: Add a splash of water to loosen the sauce, if needed.
• In a medium bowl, combine the rice wine vinegar, the soy sauce (for the dressing) and a drizzle of olive oil. Add mixed salad leaves. Toss to coat. Set aside. • Microwave mini flour tortillas on a plate in 10 second bursts, until warmed through.
• Spread each tortilla with some mayonnaise. Top with a helping of Asian-style salad, cucumber and hoisin pork. • Sprinkle with crispy shallots to serve. Enjoy!
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: The hoisin glaze delivers a rich, sticky sweetness that most customers loved, though some found it a little too sweet or salty. Adding chilli, fresh coriander, or spring onion helped balance the flavour for those wanting more depth.
- Ease of prep: Most found this genuinely quick and easy to pull together on a weeknight, with straightforward instructions that even younger cooks could follow.
- Suggestions: Several customers recommended using only one sachet of hoisin sauce if you prefer a lighter flavour, and a splash of water helps loosen the glaze if it thickens too quickly. Some suggested swapping the mixed salad leaves for cos lettuce or a fresh slaw, and adding pickled cucumber or a squeeze of lime for extra acidity. Kewpie mayo was a popular swap for the standard mayonnaise.
- Leftovers: Leftover pork worked beautifully stirred through a salad or used as a stir-fry the next day, and a few customers noted it made a great packed lunch.
- Portions: Many customers felt the pork quantity was a little short, particularly for families, and quite a few wished for one or two extra tortillas per serve.
