Servings 4 people

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 500g turkey mince
  • 5cm piece ginger grated
  • 1 large garlic clove crushed
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp hot sriracha chilli sauce
  • 350g dried udon noodles see Notes
  • 2 limes juiced, plus wedges to serve (optional)
  • 2 large carrots peeled and cut into matchsticks
  • 4 spring onions shredded
  • 1 small bunch coriander sliced (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Heat 1 tbsp of the sesame oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Once hot, add the turkey mince to the pan and fry it for 10 to 12 minutes until it's golden brown and crispy, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon as you go.  Add the ginger and garlic to the pan and cook for 1 minute.  Then stir in the honey, soy and chilli sauce and cook for a further 2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pan of water to the boil, add the noodles and cook following the packet instructions. Drain and toss the noodles with the remaining 1 tbsp of sesame oil and all of the lime juice, then divide between bowls. Top with the crispy turkey mince, carrot, spring onion and coriander. Serve with extra lime wedges for squeezing over, if you like.

Notes

  • I used fresh udon noodles and just boiled them for 3 minutes as per the packet instructions.
  • The recipe is easily halved.
