Ingredients
Noodles and Protein
- Wide rice noodles – 8 ounces
- Smoked turkey – 6 ounces, cut into bite-sized pieces
Vegetables and Aromatics
- Chinese broccoli or regular broccoli – 2 cups, chopped into florets
- Garlic cloves – 3, minced
Sauce Ingredients (Natural)
- Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) – 2 tablespoons
- Soy sauce (natural) – 2 tablespoons
- Oyster sauce (natural) – 1 tablespoon
- Apple cider vinegar – 1 teaspoon
- Plant-based sugar – 1 teaspoon
Other
- Vegetable oil – 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: Soak or boil the wide rice noodles until tender but still firm, then drain and set aside. Chop the smoked turkey into bite-sized pieces. Wash and chop the broccoli into manageable florets. Mince the garlic cloves finely.
- Mix Your Sauce: In a small bowl, combine vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), soy sauce (natural), oyster sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar, and plant-based sugar. Stir well to dissolve the sugar, creating a balanced sauce mixture.
- Heat the Wok and Oil: Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. This hot oil prevents sticking and helps achieve a lightly charred texture.
- Cook Garlic and Smoked Turkey: Add minced garlic to the hot oil and stir until fragrant but not browned, about 30 seconds. Add the smoked turkey pieces and stir-fry until they begin to brown and release their smoky aroma, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Stir Fry Noodles and Broccoli: Add the prepared noodles and broccoli to the pan. Toss quickly to combine. Pour the sauce mixture over and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, allowing the noodles to soak up the flavors and caramelize slightly. Ensure the broccoli stays vibrant green and crisp-tender.
- Serve Hot and Enjoy: Once everything is well coated and tender, remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish as desired with fresh green onions, cilantro, or a squeeze of lime for brightness.
Notes
- Avoid overcooking noodles beforehand to maintain ideal texture after stir-frying.
- Use high heat to achieve slight charring and prevent sogginess.
- Prep all ingredients in advance as stir-frying is quick.
- Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary to keep even heat.
- Taste and adjust sauce seasoning gradually for preferred saltiness or sweetness.
- Leftovers can be stored up to 3 days refrigerated or frozen up to 2 months.
- Reheat gently in a wok or skillet with a little oil to restore texture and flavor.
