# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like you ordered takeout but costs a fraction of the price and takes half the time.
  • The contrast between warm seasoned turkey and cool crispy wonton strips hits differently than a traditional egg roll.
  • You can throw in whatever vegetables are on hand without worrying about ruining the dish.
02 -
  • Don't add the wonton strips until just before serving, or they'll absorb moisture and lose that satisfying crunch that makes this bowl special.
  • The vegetables will release liquid as they cook—that's normal and actually creates a light sauce that's delicious, but if you prefer a drier bowl, cook them a minute less and drain any excess liquid.
03 -
  • Grate your ginger fresh right into the skillet if you can—bottled ginger works, but fresh ginger creates a more vibrant, snappy flavor that you'll genuinely notice.
  • Toast your wonton strips in a dry skillet for a minute before serving if they've been sitting in a package for a while; it revives their crispness and makes them taste fresher.
