At my house, we don't like those fried mushrooms that are black and slimy where the breading slides easily off. This recipe is just a very crisp breading on a fresh mushroom. They'll 'pop' when you cut into them they are so fresh. Panko breadcrumbs are a polished bread crumb that you can find in an Asian market or the International section of your favorite food store and they make just a wonderful crunchier coating, too.
A little heat, a little cool and a lot of Southwest flavor wrapped up and ready for a fork. If variety is your thing, try it one week with beef, the next with pork.
Chicken takes a cue (or is it BBQ?) from pork and gets fork-tender, shredded and piled onto a crunchy roll. Eat it hot while the cheese is good and melty.
If your choice for Chinese is pork, check out this smarter version of a takeout favorite. Cooks in less time than it takes to order and deliver... and you can pocket the tip.
