# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It delivers rich, glossy, restaurant style flavor in about the time it takes to wait for delivery.
  • The creamy peanut sesame sauce clings to every noodle and keeps you coming back for one more bite.
  • You can swap proteins, add any vegetable hiding in your crisper, and still end up with something deeply satisfying.
02 -
  • Whisk the peanut butter into the sauce thoroughly or it will clump when it hits the hot skillet.
  • Do not overcook the coleslaw mix, it should still have texture and not turn into mush.
  • Toss the noodles off the heat if the sauce starts to look dry, add a splash of water to loosen it back up.
03 -
  • Toast your sesame seeds in a dry skillet for 30 seconds before sprinkling them on top, it wakes up their flavor completely.
  • If you love garlic, add an extra clove and let it cook with the turkey for a deeper, caramelized note.
  • Make the sauce the night before and store it in a jar in the fridge, it saves you precious minutes on a busy weeknight.
