Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Score the skin of the turkey legs and rub them generously all over with salt. Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Heat oil in a pan and fry the meat, skin-side down, over high heat for about 10 minutes until browned. Mix 1/2 teaspoon of ginger, honey, and soy sauce. Place the legs, skin-side up, in an ovenproof dish. Brush with the honey paste and roast the legs in the oven for about 30 minutes. After 15 minutes, add a little water to the dish. Add rice noodles to boiling salted water, remove the pan from the heat, and cover. Let the noodles soak for 5 minutes. Pour into a sieve, rinse, and drain. Wash and trim the bell peppers and cut into fine strips. Do the same with the Chinese cabbage. Mix together a marinade of sherry vinegar, pepper, soy sauce, crushed garlic, and oil. Place the noodles and vegetables in a bowl and mix with the marinade. Season to taste. Cut the turkey legs into slices, baste with the gravy and serve.
