Narrative:
During entry into class ii we encountered wake turbulence from an aircraft 23NM ahead and 1000' above. We executed slop (strategic lateral offset procedure) left 1NM in the FMC route page to avoid any more wake [and] some possible turbulence from the weather ahead. We returned to the right side approximately 10 minutes later.
