Question Turning a twin

Sirs,

I am an inexperinced Student Pilot.

I am curious as to the correct procedure for turning a twin engined aircraft during taxi.

Take for example a 737 type.

Does one use differencial braking when turning or does one apply higher power to one engine?

I.E. if I was taxying a 737 and wanted to make a sharp turn to the left, would I apply more power to the right engine? Or is it simply a case of turning the nose wheel?

I would be greatfull if someone among your good selves would explain these things to me.
