Members of the Dexam team, as well as Sarah and James Wood from Trevor Mottram of Tunbridge Wells (a Dexam stockist) recently joined School of Wok founder, Jeremy Pang for the annual Wok for 1000 event, cooking a thousand meals for London’s homeless.
Organised by Jeremy in partnership with Plan Zheroes, the event brought together over 180 volunteers at London’s Borough Market. Wrapped in warm coats, the enthusiastic team of cooks helped Jeremy cook a menu of Hong Kong Fried Noodles, Chicken and Potato Massaman Curry and Crispy Wontons with a pork mince filling. The volunteers used Dexam’s School of Wok cleavers and woks.
After cooking over a 1000 dishes, which were then packaged and transported, volunteers got the opportunity to take a seat and enjoy the leftovers along with a well-deserved beer.
Dexam’s md, Bryony Dyer reflected: “Wok for 1000 is now in its third year and everyone that goes is in total admiration of the huge benefits that flow from working together to cook for and feed 1000 homeless people.”
