Flavor-packed hoisin sauce, fresh cilantro, and scallions give these hearty sausage sandwiches a decidedly Asian taste. We used hot Italian chicken sausage to achieve a spicy kick, but you could choose a milder sausage if you’d like. Cremini mushrooms are baby portobello mushrooms and lend a delicious umami quality to this recipe. They are the same size and shape as white mushrooms but are dark brown and have a meatier, firmer texture. In a pinch, you can use the white button variety though. For a sweet side, serve with fresh pineapple cubes tossed with cilantro leaves and just squeezed lime juice.

Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausages and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 5–6 minutes. With slotted spoon, transfer sausages to plate. Add onion to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 7 minutes. Stir in mushrooms, garlic, and salt. Cook, stirring often, until mushrooms are tender, about 8 minutes.
