Ingredient list

  • 80g soba noodles

  • 1 (~100g) salmon fillet

  • 1 spring onion (chopped)

  • 50g broccolini (sectioned)

  • 30g carrot (sliced)

  • 30g wombok/cabbage (sliced)

  • 1 tbsp sake

  • 1 tbsp mirin

  • 2 tsp soy sauce

  • 2 tsp rice vinegar

Methods

  1. Bring water to a boil over high heat in a saucepan and cook the soba according to the package instructions. Transfer the cooked soba noodles into cold water to cool them, then drain and set them aside.

  2. Over medium-high heat, heat up to 1 tbsp of oil in a pan and sear the salmon with the skin side down for 3 minutes. Lightly season with salt and pepper.

  3. Add spring onion, carrot, broccolini and wombok/cabbage to the pan, and stir until all veggies are softened (~3-5min).

  4. Splash sake and all other sauce ingredients into the pan, then add the soba noodles and stir well.

  5. To serve, place soba noodles on a plate, top them with the salmon and sprinkle some sesame seeds.

Dietitian’s Tips

  • Protein choices: Swap for protein choice of your liking, e.g. teriyaki tofu, beef, chicken, pork, etc.

  • Vegetable choices: Feel free to experiment with the vegetables you like, preferably not veggies that release large amounts of moisture while cooking

  • For meal prep/served cold: Cook all components (salmon, veggies and soba) separately and serve sauce at the side (skip sake and use 1/2 tsp of mirin instead). Cooked salmon can be pat-dried and stored in a air tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days
