Make
-
Turn on the oven’s broiler and place a rack about 6” / 15 cm below the heat source.
-
Slice hoagie rolls in half (if not pre-sliced) and place them cut-side up on a sheet pan. Spread cut-side of bread with some butter (this is helpful if the rolls seem dry, but feel free to skip it if you prefer). Set aside.
-
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add first portion of cooking oil and then mushrooms. Saute until mushrooms are deep golden brown and tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add soy sauce, garlic, and Cajun seasoning. Saute until pan is dry and garlic is fragrant, 1 to 2 minute more. Transfer mushrooms to a bowl. Return pan to heat.
-
To heated pan, add second portion of cooking oil and then bell peppers and onions with some salt. Saute until peppers and onions are very tender and browning in spots, 5 to 7 minutes. Add to bowl with mushrooms.
-
If your hoagie rolls are very soft, toast them under the broiler for a few minutes before adding toppings. Then divide peppers, onions, and mushrooms between rolls. Add cheese. Toast under the broiler until cheese is melted and bubbling, 2 to 4 minutes. (Watch closely to avoid burning as the temperature of broilers can vary.)
-
Just before serving, toss cucumbers and salad greens with vinaigrette until dressed to your liking.
