Scale
Main Ingredients
- 300g rice noodles
- 1 tsp sunflower oil
- 400g turkey breast steaks, cut into thin strips and any fat removed
- 340g green beans, trimmed and halved
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, sliced
- Juice of 1 lime, plus extra wedges for serving
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- 1 red chilli, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- Handful mint, roughly chopped
- Handful coriander, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the noodles: Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions until just tender, then drain and set aside.
- Cook the turkey: Heat the sunflower oil in a non-stick pan over high heat. Add the turkey strips and fry for 2 minutes until they begin to brown and are nearly cooked through.
- Add vegetables: Add the green beans, sliced red onion, and sliced garlic to the pan. Continue cooking and stirring for 5 more minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender and the turkey is fully cooked.
- Season the stir-fry: Stir in the lime juice, chili powder, finely chopped red chili, and fish sauce. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken.
- Combine with noodles and herbs: Add the cooked rice noodles and chopped mint and coriander to the pan. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure the noodles are well coated and the herbs are evenly distributed.
- Serve: Serve the stir-fry hot with extra lime wedges on the side for an added burst of fresh citrus.
Notes
- For a spicier dish, increase the amount of fresh red chili or add a pinch of chili flakes.
- You can substitute turkey with chicken breast if preferred.
- If you prefer a vegetarian version, replace turkey with tofu and fish sauce with soy sauce or tamari.
- Rice noodles can be swapped for other noodles such as glass noodles or egg noodles for variation.
- Ensure not to overcook the green beans to keep their crunch and vibrant color.
