“Dry-fried whatever’s-in-the-fridge” has become a staple in our house. It’s loaded with flavor, works with just about any protein (turkey, venison, duck, pork, chicken, tofu) and comes together in minutes.

I love everything about dan dan noodles. Simple preparation, complex flavors, carbs, a touch of heat, and a ton of umami.
This recipe for gung bao turkey is the original ancestor of the American-Chinese takeout classic, Kung Pao Chicken. But the resemblance between the two is about as close as a Butterball is to a wild turkey- one can barely stand up on its own, and the other might stab you.
