# How to Make It:

02 - In a small bowl, mix together sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, lime juice, and cornstarch slurry. Set aside.
03 - Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey strips and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
04 - Add remaining oil to the wok. Sauté garlic and ginger for 30 seconds, then add the bell peppers, carrots, and sugar snap peas. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
05 - Return the turkey to the wok. Add cooked noodles and pour over the prepared sauce. Toss everything together for 2–3 minutes until evenly coated and heated through.
06 - Stir in spring onions. Remove from heat. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds, coriander, and lime wedges.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- The sweet chilli sauce creates this gorgeous sticky coating that clings to every noodle and vegetable
- Turkey stays tender instead of drying out like it sometimes does in other preparations
- Everything happens in one pan so you're not staring at a mountain of dishes afterward
02 -
- Have all your ingredients prepped before you turn on the stove because stir frying happens fast
- Crowding the wok causes steaming instead of frying so work in batches if your pan is small
- The sauce will look thin at first but thickens beautifully within the last minute of cooking
03 -
- Partially freeze the turkey for twenty minutes before slicing to get perfectly thin, even strips
- Toast your sesame seeds in a dry pan for two minutes before serving to intensify their flavor
