This is my go to Easy Wok Dinner that I make frequently! Wok Stars, I know you get excited to show off your new found wok skills to friends, however, don’t pressure yourself with a big party on your first attempt. It takes the fun out of it and you’ll get put off. Take baby steps and you’ll reap HUGE flavor and rewards!
Nah, better to do a simple stir fry bok choy with just a dash of tamari, sherry and squirt of lime and grill a whole fillet of salmon sprinkled with Earthy Delight’s Moroccan Spice Rub. There’s enough grilled salmon leftover for the hubby and my lunch for the next day, how handy is that?! Other great meats for grilling are skirt steak, pork chops, chicken thighs, limitless. Vegetarians can grill a whole slab of tofu or tempeh.
Keep it SIMPLE and enjoy the journey, you don’t need recipes for weeknight cooking! Try it, you’ll love it and everyone will love you…
