# How to Make It:
01 - Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain thoroughly and rinse under cold running water to halt cooking and prevent sticking. Set aside until ready to combine.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch if using until smooth and fully incorporated. Reserve for later use.
03 - Heat a large wok or deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of oil and stir fry turkey slices for 3 to 4 minutes until just cooked through and lightly golden. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
04 - Add a small amount of additional oil to the wok. Stir fry garlic, ginger, and red onion for 1 minute until fragrant and the onion begins to soften.
05 - Add bell peppers, carrots, and sugar snap peas to the wok. Stir fry for 3 to 4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender and brightly colored.
06 - Return the cooked turkey to the wok. Add the prepared noodles and sauce mixture. Stir fry for 2 to 3 minutes, tossing constantly until everything is evenly coated and heated through.
07 - Stir in spring onions and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Serve immediately while hot, garnished generously with toasted sesame seeds and fresh coriander.
