THE TREND: FERMENTED FOODS

Two types of fermented ingredients are used here – miso paste for its deep umami qualities, and sauerkraut for tang. Together, they make for a flavour some stir-fry.

◆ 3 tbsp sweet chilli sauce

◆ 1½ tbsp white miso paste (we used Miso Tasty)

◆ 1½ tbsp light soy sauce

◆ 120g drained sauerkraut

◆ 1 tbsp sesame oil, plus 1 tsp extra

◆ 1 x 200g pack fine beans and Tenderstem broccoli

◆ 1 red pepper, deseeded and sliced

◆ 25g root ginger, grated

◆ 3 garlic cloves, grated

◆ 1 x 500g pack 7% fat turkey mince

◆ 180g dried wholemeal medium noodles

1 Whisk the chilli sauce, miso paste and soy sauce together in a bowl with 3 tablespoons of water. Set aside. Using a clean tea towel or some kitchen paper, squeeze any excess liquid from the sauerkraut. Set aside.

2 Heat ½ tablespoon of sesame oil in a wok over a high heat. Add the vegetables, season with a pinch of salt, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until just tender and blistered. Transfer to a plate.

3 Add ½ tablespoon of sesame oil to the pan and once hot, stir-fry the ginger and garlic for 30 seconds. Add the turkey mince and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until no trace of pink meat remains and any liquid has evaporated. Add the sauerkraut and stir-fry for a further 2 minutes.

4 Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to pack instructions. Drain and toss with the extra teaspoon of sesame oil.

5 Return the veggies to the wok along with the sauce and toss everything together until coated and warmed through, about 1 minute. Season to taste and serve with the noodles.
