"Turkey curry is a traditional leftovers dish, but this stir-fry brings the dish bang up to date"
METHOD
Soak the noodles in boiling water until tender, then drain and toss in 1 tsp of the sesame oil. Beat the eggs with the rest of the sesame oil and some seasoning. Heat half the vegetable oil in a wok and pour in the eggs to make a flat omelette. Cook on one side, then flip over, cook all the way through and transfer to a plate.
Place the wok back on the heat with the rest of the oil and quickly fry the garlic, ginger and chilli. Add all the vegetables to the wok, fry for 1 minute more, then add the turkey and ham. Tip the noodles into the pan and stir through the curry powder, turmeric, soy, Sherry and sugar. Cook everything together for 1-2 mins, then shred the omelette and stir it through the noodles. Serve the noodles scattered with coriander sprigs, sliced chilli and extra soy sauce.
