# Method:
01 - Cook egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain thoroughly, rinse under cold water to stop cooking and prevent sticking. Set aside for stir-frying.
02 - Whisk together sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth and combined. Reserve for adding during final cooking stage.
03 - Heat large wok or deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil swirl, then add turkey slices in single layer. Stir fry 3-4 minutes until just cooked through and lightly browned. Remove from wok and set aside.
04 - Add additional oil to hot wok. Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced red onion. Stir fry 1 minute until fragrant and onion begins to soften.
05 - Add bell peppers, julienned carrots, and sugar snap peas to wok. Stir fry 3-4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender and brightly colored.
06 - Return cooked turkey to wok. Add prepared noodles and pour sauce mixture over all. Toss continuously 2-3 minutes until everything is well coated and heated through.
07 - Stir in spring onions and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Remove from heat immediately. Serve hot, garnished generously with toasted sesame seeds and fresh coriander leaves.
# Expert Tricks:
01 -
- Everything happens in one pan so you spend more time eating and less time washing up
- The sauce hits that perfect balance where sweet meets heat and makes you want just one more bite
02 -
- Cold rinsed noodles wont stick together but they also need to be patted somewhat dry or they will make your sauce watery
- A seriously hot wok matters more than almost any other technique so do not be afraid of high heat
03 -
- Prep every single ingredient before you start cooking because stir frying waits for no one
- Toast your sesame seeds in a dry pan for 2 minutes before sprinkling them on top
