We love grabbing a wok for a quick & healthy stir fry, but as this dish demonstrates, your wok does comfort food too. This is a favourite of Sally from our Balham store's. Originally from Hong Kong, Sally is rightfully proud of the Chinese classics. It's a gentle, warming dish, and the firm tofu adds a gorgeous chewy texture!

Pak Choi should be easy to get at this time of year. Ours were grown in Hampshire!
