Steps
-
a full kettle to the boil.

Prepare vegetables. Remove core and seeds from first measure of capsicum and thinly slice; cut cucumber in half lengthways, remove seeds with a teaspoon then cut into thin sticks; thinly slice first measure of spring onion on an angle.
-
In a large, heat-proof, bowl, pour boiling water over noodles and use a fork to separate strands. Leave for 5 minutes then drain. Drizzle with sesame oil to prevent noodles sticking and cut noodles in a few places to make them easier to eat. Return to bowl with bok choy and toss to combine.
-
Heat olive oil in a large fry-pan or wok on medium-high heat. Cook turkey mince for 2–3 minutes until browned, breaking up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Add remaining capsicum and carrot and cook, stirring frequently, for 3–4 minutes, until tender.
-
Add all remaining Vietnamese mince ingredients to pan/wok and cook for a further 1 minute, or until combined and heated through.
-
In a small bowl, mix all Asian dressing ingredients until well combined.
-
Divide vermicelli between bowls and top with Vietnamese mince and vegetables. Drizzle over Asian dressing and sprinkle over chopped peanuts.
