Instructions
- Mix the turkey mince with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Roll into 16 equal meatballs — roughly the size of a golf ball. Chill in the fridge 5 min to firm up if time allows.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the noodles.
- Heat oil in a wide pan over medium-high. Cook the meatballs in a single layer, turning every 2 min, until browned all over and cooked through — about 10 min total. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, shred the pak choi and julienne or grate the carrot. Cook the noodle nests in the boiling water per packet instructions, then drain.
- In the same pan, stir-fry the carrot and pak choi stalks 2 min. Add the pak choi leaves and stir-fry 1 min more.
- Return the meatballs to the pan. Pour over the teriyaki sauce and toss everything together over medium heat for 1–2 min until glazed.
- Add the drained noodles and toss to coat. Divide into bowls and scatter with sesame seeds.
