Directions
In a large bowl, blend cornstarch, sugar, baking soda, black pepper, soy sauce, wine, oyster sauce, cold water and onion. Stir until smooth. Add ground turkey and mix well. Let stand for 30 mins. Knead the mixture for 1 minute. Divide meat into meatballs.
In a small bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients (½ T cornstarch through ketchup). Heat a non-stick wok on high for 30 seconds. Add the sauce ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and add the meatballs. Cover and cook for 3-4 mins. Uncover and roll the meatballs over gently and cook an additional 3-4 mins or until cooked through.
Meanwhile, cook Somen noodles according to package directions. Drain and put in bowl. Sprinkle with sesame oil and sesame seeds. Add green onions and toss well.
Serve meatballs with noodles on the side.
Note: I used only 1 T Chili paste and it was more than enough.
