Sesame Turkey with Ginger and Lychees
Ingredients
- 1 lb turkey fillets cut into thin strips
- 1 egg beaten
- 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove finely chopped
- slice of fresh root ginger 1 cm (1/2 inch) thick, peeled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened pineapple juice
- 4 tablespoons chicken stock
- 12 fresh lychees shelled
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- salt and pepper
- julienne strips of spring onion to garnish
Instructions
- Dip the strips of turkey into beaten egg, shaking off the excess, and coat lightly in sesame seeds.
- Heat the olive oil in a shallow pan; add the onion and garlic and fry for 2 - 3 minutes.
- Add the ginger and the strips of turkey and fry until the turkey is evenly coloured. Pour over the pineapple juice and stock and simmer for 5 minutes, covered. Add the lychees and lime juice and season well to taste.
- Stir well, then simmer, covered, for a further 4-5 minutes. Serve, garnished with spring onion strips, on a bed of Chinese noodles.
- The stones can be removed from the lychees before adding to the casserole but do this in a dish so that none of the fragrant juice is wasted.
