Brothy Chinese Noodles

Submitted by MrsMM

"I found this recipe on msn.com and it is credited to eatingwell.com. We tried it last night- it's GREAT- so I wanted to share. I am posting recipe AS IS, but I did add 1 tsp of 5-spice powder to the turkey mixture and I used buckwheat soba noodles, plus, I added a little bit of Sambal for added spice. Here is the website description of it, and the actual recipe: This dish was inspired by Chinese Dan Dan noodles made with ground pork and noodles in a spicy broth. We use ground turkey and omit the traditional Sichuan peppercorns for convenience, but add hot sesame oil. Use toasted sesame oil instead if you want mild noodles."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 12
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 2 tablespoons hot sesame oil
• 1 lb lean ground turkey
• 1 bunch scallion, sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 small cucumber, matchstick sliced, for garnish

directions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add ground turkey, all but 2 tablespoons of the scallions, garlic, and ginger and cook, stirring and breaking up the turkey, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
3. Transfer to a plate.
4. Add broth, water, bok choy, noodles, soy sauce, vinegar, and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Bring to a boil over medium-high.
5. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Return the turkey mixture to the pan and stir to combine.
6. Serve garnished with the reserved 2 tablespoons scallions and cucumber (if using).
