This dish was inspired by Chinese Dan Dan noodles--ground pork and noodles in a spicy broth. We use ground turkey and omit the traditional Sichuan peppercorns for convenience, but add hot sesame oil. Use toasted sesame oil instead if you want mild noodles.
This fish is tasty and impressive enough to serve company. You can substitute tuna for swordfish. Serve with orzo tossed with chopped fresh basil and toasted pine nuts.
