Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon regular miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil (I prefer avocado oil)

  1. Sauce mix: miso paste, hoisin sauce, black bean paste, sake, red pepper flakes, and sea salt.
  2. Drain the water from the tofu and cut into cube pieces then set aside.
  3. Heat up a large frying pan until hot and pour in the cooking oil. Saute garlic, onion, ginger. Add the ground turkey and break it up into small pieces.
  4. When the turkey is cooked, add the sauce mix (miso paste, hoisin sauce, black bean paste, sake, red pepper flakes, sea salt) and stir.
