# How to Make It:
01 - Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain well and set aside.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, lime juice, and cornstarch slurry until combined. 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 from wok and set aside.
04 - Add remaining oil to the wok. Sauté garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add 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. Stir in spring onions and remove from heat.
06 - Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds, fresh coriander leaves, and lime wedges on the side.

- The sweet chilli sauce creates this gorgeous sticky glaze that coats every single strand of noodle and piece of turkey
- You get that satisfying crunch from fresh vegetables while the noodles stay silky and tender
- Everything happens in one pan so cleanup is almost nonexistent
02 -
- Having all your ingredients prepped and ready before you turn on the heat makes stir-frying so much less stressful
- A really hot wok is what gives stir-fry that signature smoky flavor and prevents vegetables from getting soggy
