# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The sweet chilli sauce creates this incredible sticky coating that clings to every single noodle and vegetable
  • Its one of those rare meals that actually tastes better than takeout but costs a fraction of the price
  • You can prep everything in about 15 minutes and have dinner on the table before anyone starts asking whats to eat
02 -
  • Don't overcrowd your wok when cooking the turkey, work in batches if needed so it actually sears instead of steaming
  • The sauce will look thin at first but keep tossing, it thickens beautifully once it hits the hot noodles
  • Have all your ingredients prepped before you turn on the stove, stir-frying happens fast and you won't have time to chop
03 -
  • Cold water rinsed noodles won't stick together and will absorb the sauce better than hot, rinsed noodles
  • Preheat your wok for at least 2 minutes before adding oil, you want it screaming hot for the best sear
  • Toast extra sesame seeds while you're prepping, they keep in a jar for weeks and elevate everything
