Ingredients

100g ramen noodles
100g green beans, halved
3 tbsp hoisin sauce
Juice of 1 lime
1 tbsp chilli sauce
1 tbsp vegetable oil
250g turkey mince
2 garlic cloves, chopped
6 spring onions, sliced diagonally

Instructions

Step 1: Boil the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Add the green beans to the boiling water for the last 2 minutes. Drain the noodles and green beans together and set aside.
Step 2: In a small bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, lime juice, and chilli sauce. Set this mixture aside.
Step 3: Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the turkey mince and cook until browned all over.
Step 4: Add the chopped garlic to the pan and fry for another minute until fragrant.
Step 5: Pour in the hoisin sauce mixture and stir well. Cook for a few more minutes until the sauce becomes sticky and coats the turkey.
Step 6: Add the drained noodles, green beans, and half of the sliced spring onions to the pan. Toss everything together and heat through.
Step 7: Serve the noodles scattered with the remaining spring onions for a fresh, crunchy topping.

Tips & Variations

For extra heat, add a dash of fresh chopped chilli or a sprinkle of chilli flakes when cooking the garlic.
You can substitute turkey mince with chicken or pork mince depending on what you have on hand.
If green beans aren’t available, try using snap peas or sugar snap peas for a similar crunch.
For a vegetarian version, replace turkey mince with firm tofu or tempeh.

Storage

Store leftover noodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan over medium heat or microwave until warmed through, adding a splash of water if needed to loosen the sauce.

FAQs

Can I use other types of noodles for this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute ramen noodles with rice noodles, egg noodles, or even spaghetti if needed. Just adjust cooking times according to the noodle type.

Is hoisin sauce gluten-free?

Most hoisin sauces contain soy sauce which typically has wheat, so they are not usually gluten-free. Look for gluten-free labeled hoisin sauce if you have dietary restrictions.
