Ingredients
Scale
Marinade and Salmon
- 1 thumb-sized piece ginger, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 6 tbsp light soy sauce
- 4 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 4 salmon fillets, about 140g/5oz each
Noodles and Vegetables
- 200g soba noodles
- 350g frozen soya beans, defrosted
- 2 x 175g packs baby corn and mange tout mix, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped ginger, garlic, light soy sauce, and rice wine vinegar. Stir well to blend all the flavors.
- Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets into the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them sit in the marinade for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the Salmon: Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Using a slotted spoon, lift the salmon out of the marinade and carefully place it in the pan. Fry the fillets for 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked through and slightly caramelized.
- Simmer with Marinade: After frying, pour the remaining marinade into the pan with a splash of water. Let it bubble for 1 minute to create a light sauce coating the salmon.
- Cook the Noodles and Veggies: Prepare the soba noodles according to the package instructions. Three minutes before the noodles are done, add the defrosted soya beans to the pot. For the last minute of cooking, add the chopped baby corn and mange tout mix.
- Drain and Serve: Drain the noodles and vegetables thoroughly to remove excess water. Serve the soba noodles and vegetable mix on plates, top with the cooked salmon fillets, and spoon the soy-ginger sauce from the pan over the top for an extra burst of flavor.
Notes
- Ensure salmon fillets are of even thickness for uniform cooking.
- Use a non-stick frying pan to prevent the salmon from sticking and breaking apart.
- You can substitute baby corn and mange tout with other crunchy vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas if preferred.
- For a gluten-free version, opt for tamari instead of light soy sauce and check the soba noodles contain 100% buckwheat.
- Do not overcook the soba noodles to preserve their pleasant chewiness.
