Recipe video above. Here's a great quick noodle recipe that's got everything you want for a meal. It's got carbs, veg and protein. It's quick. It's one-pan. It's easy. And it's super tasty!! This is also a delicious dish that can wring two generous meal servings from just one piece of salmon. An economical tip! :)

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp oil (veg or canola)
  • 250 g / 8 oz salmon fillet (s), skinless, sliced into 2cm / 0.7″ strips (lengthwise, Note 1)
  • 2 instant noodle / ramen noodle cakes (discard seasoning packs) (Note 2 other noodles)
  • 1/2 onion, cut into 1cm / 0.3″ slices
  • 1 garlic clove, finely minced
  • 1 small bunch Chinese broccoli (gai lan), cut into 5 cm / 2" lengths, leaves separated from stem (Note 3)
  • 2 1/2 tbsp soy sauce, light or all-purpose (Note 4)
  • 2 tbsp mirin (Note 5)
  • 2 tbsp cooking sake (Note 5)
  • 1 tsp white sugar

Directions

  1. 1

  2. 2

    Teriyaki Sauce: Mix the ingredients in a small bowl until the sugar is dissolved.

  3. 3

    Coat salmon with 1 tablespoon of Teriyaki Sauce in a bowl, then set aside while you cook the noodles. (No need to marinate)

  4. 4

    Cook your noodles per the packet directions. Drain, briefly rinse under tap water then set aside.

  5. 5

    Cook salmon: Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in a large non-stick pan over high heat. Cook the salmon for 1 1/2 minutes on each side or until golden, then remove to a plate. Pour any remaining sauce in the skillet over the salmon.

  6. 6

    Cook aromatics: Roughly clean the pan with a paper towel then return to the stove, still on high heat. Heat 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil and cook the onion and garlic for 30 seconds. Add Chinese broccoli stems and cook for 1 minute.

  7. 7

    Noodles & sauce: Add noodles and half the Sauce. Toss for 2 minutes until the Sauce is absorbed. Add the remaining Sauce and toss to disperse. Then spread the noodles out in the pan, cook for 30 seconds un-disturbed. Repeat again 3 to 4 times (~3 min total) – a trick for nice caramelisation on the noodles (which = flavour!).

  8. 8

    Leafy greens: Drizzle the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil around the side of the pan, then add the Chinese broccoli leaves. Toss for a further 1 1/2 minutes or until the leaves wilt.

  9. 9

    Add back salmon: Remove pan from stove. Place salmon on top, break into large chunks then toss through.

    Serve: Divide between bowls and serve immediately!
