method
1. Mix together the sesame oil, lemon juice, garlic, ginger and honey in a shallow, non-metallic dish. Add the turkey and mix well. Cover and leave to marinate for 3 - 4 hours.
2. Blanch the mangetouts in boiling salted water for 1 minute. Drain, refresh under cold running water and set aside.
3. Drain the marinade from the turkey strips and reserve the marinade. Heat the groundnut oil in a preheated wok or large frying pan, add the cashew nuts and stir-fry for about 1 - 2 minutes, until golden brown. Remove the cashew nuts from the wok or frying pan, using a slotted spoon, and set aside.
4. Add the turkey to the wok or I frying pan and stir-fry for 3 - 4 minutes, until golden brown. Add the spring onions, mangetouts, water chestnuts and reserved marinade. Cook for a few minutes, until the turkey is tender and the sauce is bubbling and hot. Stir in the cashew nuts and serve with saffron rice.
