For the best Wombok recipe EVER - Google Chang's Oriental Fried Noodle Salad and get the recipe from the Chang's website. My partner demands that I make it at least once a fortnight - so I am growing my own Wombok now! The dressing has the perfect balance of flavours.

I’m successfully growing wombok in The Snowies at approx 800m I get them to ‘head’ by gathering in & loosely tying the outer leaves together with twine I’ve experimented with tied vs untied plants in the same bed … untied never ‘head’, tied plants always do Good luck!
