Mouthwatering Turkey With Glass Noodles
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
- 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.
- 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.
- Arrange turkey over noodles. Give dressing a stir and drizzle over each bowl. Top with basil, cilantro, and nuts.
