Today is another recipe post! I love Chinese food, but unfortunately ordering from the takeaway every weekend is not the healthiest of options, especially when it has all the tempting deep fried side orders! I have formed a healthier alternative to cook at home, which still has all the flavour of a takeaway but more goodness.
This uses soy sauce, ginger and chilli for the flavour. If you are not a fan of a bit of heat to your food you can replace the chilli with garlic, or turn up the heat and add an extra chilli pepper! I use turkey instead if chicken as it is a leaner meat, but you can use either.
Ingredients (to feed 2-3 people)
Turkey Pieces (around 400g)
Half a broccoli
A thumb size piece of ginger
1 onion
1 carrot
I green chilli pepper
1 red pepper
Noodles
Dark Soy Sauce
Method
1. Heat some oil in a frying pan or wok (we use coconut oil) and fry the onion and ginger (chopped) until it starts to brown.
2. Add the turkey pieces and cook until they are browned all over.
3. Add the carrot, pepper, broccoli and chilli pepper to the pan and fry unitl the peppers start to turn soft (around 5 minutes).
4. In the meantime, cook your noodles, most need to be placed in boiling water for 2-3 minutes before adding them to the pan.
5. Once the veg is starting to soften add your noodles to the pan, followed by the soy sauce. I use a lot of soy sauce usually around 6-8 tablespoons but use as much as you like depending on the taste you would like to have.
6. Let the sauce simmer in the pan for 5-10 minutes whilst occasionally mixing the veg and turkey to make sure it isn't sticking to the bottom.
7. Your stir-fry is ready! You can add rice to this if you like but we have this as a main meal and eat from bowls with chopsticks.
I hope you enjoyed this recipe, let me know if you try it out as a take away alternative!
