I bought a new wok several weeks ago and made this Thai stir fry for its new-kitchen-item-initiation. It’s kind of a big deal around here when I bring home a new kitchen gadget. Sure, it happens quite often, but it’s always a big deal to me. This recipe is vegetarian and comes together in under 15 minutes making it a great weeknight meal for busy days that need some homemade veggie power. Wait, make that vegan. Southeast Asian food is great that way. You never even notice it is vegan until later. And gluten-free! Wow, so this dish works for almost anyone. And it’s easy to make? This is a recipe to keep in your back pocket for sure.
