- Combine the turkey mince, ginger, coriander and lime zest in a mixing bowl. Roll into 16 balls and set aside on a tray.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat and fry the curry paste for 2-3 mins until aromatic. Pour in the coconut milk and chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Add the meatballs and cook for 5 mins, then add the vegetables; simmer for 3-4 mins or until just tender.
- Meanwhile, cook the noodles to pack instructions, then drain and briefly rinse under cold water. Season the broth with the lime juice, then divide the noodles between 4 bowls. Spoon over the broth, meatballs and vegetables and serve with the lime wedges, spring onions, chilli and extra coriander.
