Instructions
1
Prepare the turkey
Cut the turkey meat into bite-sized chunks. Ensure they are roughly uniform in size for even cooking.
2
Marinate the meat
Coat the turkey chunks with potato starch and a pinch of salt. Let them sit briefly to help the starch adhere, creating a tender texture when cooked.
3
Prepare the sauce and aromatics
Wash the red chili and slice it. In a small bowl, mix the light soy sauce, white sugar, red wine, and rice vinegar to create the sauce mixture.
4
Fry the turkey
Heat a bowl of soybean oil in a wok or frying pan. Once hot, add the coated turkey chunks and fry until golden and cooked through. Remove the turkey and drain excess oil.
5
Stir-fry and combine
Leave a small amount of oil in the pan. Add the sliced red chili and stir-fry briefly. Return the fried turkey to the pan, pour in the sauce mixture, and toss everything together quickly until the meat is evenly coated and glossy.
