Thai cuisine is renowned for its complex and bold flavours, and this dish is no exception. The combination of ground turkey, fragrant ginger, and the distinct tanginess of lime creates a symphony that dances on your palate. The richness of hoisin sauce and soy sauce adds depth and a touch of umami, while the subtle sweetness of brown sugar balances the overall flavour profile. The chili pepper brings the right amount of heat to awaken your taste buds without overpowering the dish.

The use of soy sauce and fish sauce reminded me of Filipino cuisine. We use the same set of ingredients as our Southeast Asian neighbour, but the result is quite different.
