One of themost popular recipes (i.e. most searched for recipe) on my blog is this Wagamama-Inspired Salad Dressing. Clearly people think like me when they go to a restaurant and try something delicious - they want to know how to recreate it at home! So, I decided to post this DIY version of one of my favourite side dishes on the menu at Wagamama's.

  • Cook on a medium heat for around 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until vegetables are cooked to your liking.

Tip: I like to keep them slightly crunchy, but for more thoroughly cooked vegetables you can cook them for longer and cover the wok or frying pan with a lid.

Substitutions you can make

  • You can use either soy sauce or tamari - use tamari if gluten-free.
  • You can replace the sugar with any other sweetener.
  • I used tenderstem broccoli and pak choi because that's what they use at Wagamama's, but you could use anything else like French beans, asparagus, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, kale, spinach, or whatever else you fancy.

Notes

*Using a wok will give a better flavour, but it's fine to make these in a frying pan.

I used tenderstem broccoli and pak choi because that's what they use at Wagamama's, but you could use anything else like French beans, asparagus, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, kale, spinach, or whatever else you fancy.
