These Wagamama Wok-Fried Greens are saucy, salty-sweet, garlicky, slightly caramelised and perfectly crunchy! They're naturally vegan and gluten-free, and make the perfect quick and easy side dish that's full of flavour but also happens to be really healthy too.

One of the most 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. 

How to make this recipe

Scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full recipe.

  • Mix together the soy sauce (or tamari), sugar, sesame oil and black pepper in a small bowl.

  • Fry the sliced garlic in a wok or frying pan on a low heat for around 30 seconds, until fragrant and lightly browned.

Tip: Be very careful not to burn it!

  • 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.

What to serve them with

  • Sweet Potato Fries with Spicy Miso Mayo
  • Crispy Taro Fritters
  • Tofu Onigirazu
  • Mapo Tofu
  • Tofu Satay
  • Thai Green Curry Rice

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