This came out surprisingly delicious, and was a hit with the kids, too. It takes about 30 minutes from start to finish, making it a great work night dinner. I had fish sauce on hand so I used it, but if you don't have any, or don't care for the...aroma...using soy sauce alone would work fine. This dish has a great combination of sweet/savory/spicy tastes. Ingredients: 2 Tbsp oil 1 onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 Tbsp fresh ginger, grated About 1 pound ground turkey or chicken 3 scallions, chopped 1 cup grated carrots 1 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce (gluten-free), or Tamari sauce 1 Tbsp fish sauce (if you have it, Otherwise, add an extra 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce.) 2 Tbsp lime juice (or half of a freshly squeezed lime) 2 Tbsp brown sugar Crushed pepper to taste, if you like spice. Otherwise, omit it. 1/2 box of rice noodles (I used fettucine style) OR riced cauliflower or zucchini noodles for lower carb, grain-free options. 1) In a large skillet, gently saute onion, ginger, and garlic in the oil over medium heat. After about 5 minutes, add meat and cook until broken up and heated through. 2) Add scallions and carrots and cook for another 5 minutes. 3) Add soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar. Stir well to combine. Turn heat down and allow to simmer for another 10 minutes. 4) While cooking the above, start a large saucepan of water heating over high heat. Once it comes to a boil, add rice noodles, cover, and turn the heat off. They should be soft in about 10 minutes. 5) Strain noodles. Mix into meat mixture in the skillet. Heat for another 2 minutes, and then it's ready to serve.
