Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium heat. Add the turkey mince to the pan and break it up with a spatula or wooden spoon.
500 grams turkey mince
Add the minced garlic and cook until browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove the cooked turkey mince from the pan and set it aside.
2-3 cloves garlic
In the meantime, bring a large pot with water to a boil. Add the instant noodles and cook according to the package instructions until they are al dente.
3 cakes instant noodles
Drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Save ½ cup noodle water to adjust sauce thickness later. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the oyster sauce, light soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and chili powder (if using). Stir well to ensure all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
4 tablespoons oyster sauce, 4 tablespoons light soy sauce, 3 tablespoons sesame oil, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon chili powder
In the same frying pan or wok used for the turkey mince, heat the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the cabbage and green onions to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
2 cups cabbage (or Pak Choi), 4 green onions, 2 tablespoons sesame oil
Bring in the cooked turkey mince back to the pan with the vegetables and stir to combine.
Add the cooked instant noodles to the pan and pour the prepared sauce, toss everything together gently, ensuring that the noodles are coated in the sauce. Use tongs for easiest mixing without breaking noodles.
Divide the Turkey Mince Noodles into individual serving bowls. Garnish with additional green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

You can substitute turkey mince with ground pork, beef, or chicken if preferred.
Cook the turkey mince until fully browned and no pink remains for the best texture.
Rinse the cooked noodles under cold water to prevent them from sticking together.
Adjust the chili powder in the sauce to your spice preference; skip it if you don’t like heat.
Stir-fry the cabbage (or Pak Choi) and green onions just until softened to keep them crisp.
Combine all ingredients gently to avoid breaking the noodles.
Garnish with extra green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat gently before serving.
