This is a great simple, cheap and healthy family friendly recipe for Chinese Turkey Noodles. Our recipe is based on a Szechuan Turkey Noodle recipe which we found in the book below, but we altered it to suit our taste. I am unable to eat spicy food so we changed the recipe to make it milder and more suited to our pallet.
Ingredients List:
450g Turkey, cut into chunks
2 Courgettes, cut into batons
225g Dried Egg Noodles, or an alternative type of noodle if you want
2tbsp Tomato Puree
2tbsp Black Bean Sauce
2tsp Cider Vinegar
4tsp Sesame Oil
2tbsp Groundnut Oil
4 Shallots, peeled and finely chopped
2 Cloves Garlic, crushed or 1tsp Lazy Garlic
Mix together your Black Bean Sauce, Tomato Puree, Cider Vinegar and half your sesame oil. Then put the bowl in the fridge to let it chill.
Heat your groundnut oil in a large pan or wok then add the garlic and shallots and fry till starting to soften. Add the Courgettes and Turkey and continue heating until the turkey is cooked through.
Whilst cooking the Turkey mix boil some water, either on the hob or in a kettle, and add the noodles. Heart for 3-5 minutes (or as per the instructions on the packet)
Add your sauce to your meat and courgettes and stir through until evenly coated. Keep stir frying for a further few minutes. Hopefully by now your noodles are also cooked. Simple drain them and serve, topped with your tasty Chinese Turkey dish.
Enjoy!

For an alternative you could make this veggie friendly by using mushrooms or tofu instead of the Turkey! Or try adding a touch of chilli and ginger to your sauce for a spicier taste.
