- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2-3 mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup frozen snow peas
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions:
-
Cook Pasta: Begin by cooking the fusilli pasta according to the package directions. Once cooked, drain it in a colander and set it aside.
-
Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, cornstarch, ground ginger, and black pepper until well combined. This will be your flavorful sauce base.
-
Heat Wok or Skillet: Spray a wok or large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat it over medium-high heat. You can also add a splash of broth to prevent sticking if needed.
-
Cook Meat and Veggies: Add the sliced turkey or chicken, bell pepper, minced garlic, and sliced onion to the heated wok or skillet. Stir-fry until the meat is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, which should take around 5-7 minutes.
-
Add Mushrooms and Snow Peas: Next, toss in the sliced mushrooms and frozen snow peas. Continue cooking until the snow peas are crisp-tender, which should take approximately 2 minutes.
-
Incorporate Sauce: Pour the prepared broth mixture into the wok or skillet and bring it to a boil. Stir frequently until the mixture thickens, which should take about 3 minutes.
-
Combine Pasta and Stir-Fry: Place the cooked fusilli pasta on a serving platter and top it with the cooked meat and vegetable mixture. This creates a colorful and flavorful base for your dish.
-
Garnish and Serve: For an extra touch of flavor and texture, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of the stir-fry if desired. Serve hot and enjoy alongside a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
