Korean Turkey Noodle Dish
Smokey, salty, with heat and sour. A complex layered dish of flavors and textures. You can add the obligatory sunny side up egg to this dish for more authenticity.

- 3 t Ginger grated

Mise en Place
- Wash veggies and gather spice and herbs.
Pickling Veggies
- Chop the veggies (carrots, cabbage, onion) and place in a glass bowl (that has a tight lid).
- Pour the vinegar with pickling spice into the bowl to cover all the veggies. And place in the fridge to marinate.
Meat
- Prepare the sauce by mixing all together in a small saucepan and cooking on the stove until the sauce is warmed and the brown sugar has disappeared into the sauce.
- Meanwhile, place the ground turkey into a wok and cook so it is crumbled.
- Once cooked, add the noodles to warm up, and then the sauce.
Serving

- Distribute any remaining sauce over the servings and top with chopped scallions for color.
Notes
My way of saying this was inspired by a particular country’s cuisine is when I use the phrase “ish”. This dish was inspired by something I ate in a Korean restaurant, thus Koreanish.
I am using ready-made, already cooked noodles to save time. These noodles do contain gluten.
I used my own quick pickled veggies, but to make this more like Korean food, use red Kimchi as the side.
