Ingredients

  • 5 tsp. Sichuan peppercorns
  • 1½ tsp. white peppercorns (optional)
  • 6 Tbsp. spicy chili crisp (preferably Lao Gan Ma)
  • ⅓ cup chili oil
  • 3 Tbsp. light soy sauce
  • 3 Tbsp. unrefined peanut oil
  • 5 tsp. black (Chinkiang) vinegar
  • 12 oz. sweet potato starch or mung bean glass noodles
  • 2 celery stalks, cut into thin 2"-long pieces
  • 1 lb. leftover cooked turkey meat, shredded (about 3 cups)
  • 1 small bunch basil, preferably Thai or Opal basil, leaves picked
  • 1 small bunch cilantro, leaves and tender stems picked
  • ½ cup crushed salted or unsalted roasted peanuts
  • A spice mill or mortar and pestle

Steps

  1. Toast Sichuan peppercorns and white peppercorns (if using) in a dry small skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a spice mill or mortar and pestle and coarsely grind. Transfer to a medium bowl and add chili crisp, chili oil, soy sauce, peanut oil, and vinegar; whisk well. Set dressing aside.
  2. Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling water according to package directions, adding celery 2 minutes before noodles are done (celery should be crisp-tender). Drain and rinse under cold running water until cool. Shake off excess water; divide among shallow bowls.
  3. Arrange turkey over noodles. Give dressing a stir and drizzle over each bowl. Top with basil, cilantro, and nuts.
