Ingredients

Kosher salt

12 ounces wide rice noodles, pappardelle or fettuccine

2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

1/4 cup oyster sauce

2 tablespoons rice vinegar (not seasoned)

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 small Japanese eggplant, sliced into rounds

4 ounces mixed mushrooms, cut into pieces (about 1 cup)

2 cloves garlic, chopped

3/4 pound ground turkey

1 bunch scallions, sliced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

Sriracha or other Asian chile sauce, for serving (optional)

Directions

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil; add the noodles and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1 1/4 cups of the cooking water, then drain and rinse the noodles. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Mix the oyster sauce and vinegar in a cup; set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in large skillet over high heat. Add the eggplant and stir-fry until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until wilted, 1 minute. Push the vegetables to one side and add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add the turkey and stir-fry until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Stir the turkey and vegetables together; add the scallions and half of the oyster sauce mixture and cook 1 more minute. Add the noodles, 1 cup of the reserved cooking water and the remaining oyster sauce mixture and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Stir-fry until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes, adding more cooking water as needed to loosen. Top with cilantro and serve with Sriracha, if desired.  Photograph by Antonis Achilleos

Absolutely love this dish! One of my family's favorite. Made for friends and family and they all ask for recipe. I use pea pods and bok choy instead of the mushrooms and eggplant . Also I like to double the sauce . Delicious!!!!
