wok from home episode #2 | vegan wok-fried greens

in this episode, steve cooks one of our most popular sides. vegan wok-fried greens. this dish takes inspiration from the traditional thai vegetable stir-fry ‘morning glory’. smoky and salty, it makes a great side to any simple grilled protein, or use to top rice with some charred tofu on the side. remember, this will work with whatever you have in your veg drawer and steve has adapted the wagamama recipe to use what he had. rule of thumb, if it works in a stir-fry, you're good to go!
