Method
To make the satay, mix the soy sauce with the Hi-PRO peanut butter, sweet chilli sauce – it will need a thorough mix. Set aside.
Toast the peanuts in a small dry pan for a few minutes until golden, shaking the pan frequently to make sure they don’t burn. Set aside.
Cook the egg noodles in a large pan of boiling water according to packet instructions. Drain and set aside.
Heat one tablespoon of oil in a wok or large deep frying pan and stir-fry the turkey for five minutes until cooked through. Remove to a bowl and keep warm.
Heat the remaining oil in the wok or pan and stir-fry the vegetables for three to four minutes.
Sprinkle in the sesame seeds, return the turkey and the noodles to the wok and then stir in the satay sauce. Heat through and serve with the peanuts sprinkled over the top.
