Ingredients

Instructions

1. Mix all the noodle sauce ingredients until well combined. Taste it: it should be strong and balanced between salty, sweet, sour and slightly spicy. Adjust if needed, then set aside.
2. Boil the ramen noodles according to the package directions, then drain and set aside.
3. Rinse the drained noodles and toss them with a tiny bit of oil so they do not stick together.
4. Heat a wok or large pan over medium heat and add enough cooking oil to coat the surface.
5. Once hot, add the crushed garlic cloves and red pepper flakes. Toast for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
6. Turn the heat to high and add the ground turkey, a sprinkle of salt and a sprinkle of MSG. Crush the meat into fine pebbles with a potato masher as it cooks.
7. When the meat is browned and slightly crispy, remove it from the wok and set aside.
8. With the heat still on high, add a small drizzle of oil to the wok. Add the thinly sliced red bell pepper and a little salt, then stir fry for about 60 seconds until softened and lightly charred.
9. Return the turkey to the wok with the peppers and reduce the heat to medium.
10. Stir the sauce and pour it around the edges of the wok. Let it simmer until the cornstarch thickens it.
11. Add the drained noodles and toss with the sauce and meat until well coated.
12. If the sauce is not thick enough, keep tossing for a minute or two until it reduces and clings to the noodles.
13. Turn off the heat once the texture is right.
14. Finish with 5 g of sesame oil and a sprinkle of black sesame seeds. Add cilantro leaves or scallions if you like.
