Today’s recipe for my Cooking Through My Collection series is for oriental pork wraps. This recipe is perfect for the warmer months that are ahead. It is a quick and easy stove top meal that is also pretty light and healthy.
These pork wraps come from the cookbook Pillsbury Fast and Healthy. I have had this cookbook for years. I used to use it all the time, but have not cooked out of it for a few years. I recently pulled it off the shelf to look through and decided that I need to start cooking from it again. It is a great cookbook full of healthier type meals.
My family loved these pork wraps, but I will say that I did a terrible job following the recipe on these. I think maybe inspired by the original recipe might be more accurate. I did change the recipe, but not enough to really make it my own recipe.
The original recipe called for butterflied pork loin chops. I am sure those would work and be delicious, but I have quite a bit of ground pork in the freezer and decided to use that instead. It worked great. If you don’t have ground pork, I think ground turkey or chicken would work fine as well.
I also increased the sauce on the recipe. It just seemed like the recipe was not enough sauce for the amount of meat and vegetables in it, so I increased it. And again it turned out great.
I love simple and delicious meals like this. I think this one will be on the menu plan a lot this summer.

Thank you! I’ve so often wondered if I could use (leftover) coleslaw mix for a cooked meal, thinking surely something oriental would make sense. Looking forward to trying this ………..
