Ingredients  

Sauce

  • ¼ cup fish sauce or soy sauce
  • ¼ cup brown sugar or cane
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sriracha hot sauce
  • 340 g rice noodles cooked according to instructions on package
  • 340 g boneless and skinless turkey breasts cut in thin strips
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil olive or canola
  • 3 green onions cut in sections
  • 2 cups chinese cabbage minced
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten

Toppings

  • ¼ cup peanuts crushed
  • cilantro leaves optional
  • lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  • Prepare the sauce by mixing all the sauce ingredients.
  • Cook noodles according to instructions on the package. Drain and set aside. Certain varieties need to be soaked first, while others cook in as little as 3 minutes. I suggest adapting the recipe according to cooking instructions on package.
  • In a large skillet, sear and brown turkey strips for 4-5 minutes in the sesame and cooking oil mixture, until cooked through.
  • Add green onions and cabbage and cook 1 more minute or so. Push the ingredients on the side to create space to cook eggs for 1 minute, to make scrambled eggs.
  • Incorporate noodles and mix well. Quickly add the sauce and cook 2 more minutes.
  • Divide in four bowls. Top with peanuts and cilantro leaves. The lime wedges will bring out the wonderful flavours of this typical and exotic meal.

Tips & Tricks

The aroma of the fish sauce will disappear during cooking. You can also substitute this ingredient with an equivalent amount of soy sauce. By adding a few dried and rehydrated shitake mushrooms, you will get fantastic aromas that evoke the unique umami taste of fish sauce.
