Thai Salmon Noodles Recipes

THAI SALMON NOODLES

Steps:

• Blanch the cut vegetables. Remove and keep warm.
• Make the sauce: combine the peanut butter, the reserved brine, and the 8 ingredients that follow, in a small pan over medium heat (enough heat to melt the peanut butter and creamed coconut). Reduce heat to lowest setting.
• Prepare the dried egg noodles according to the instructions on the packet. (I use the leftover vegetable water to cook the egg noodles -- its already hot, and full of vitamins!).
• Drain the noodles. Stir in the sauce and the basil or cilantro (aka coriander) (optional). Flake the salmon and fold it into the noodles.
• Fold in the vegetables or serve them on the side. Ensure that the meal is warm throughout, and ENJOY!

TERIYAKI SALMON NOODLES

Steps:

• Teriyaki Sauce: Mix the ingredients in a small bowl until the sugar is dissolved.
• Coat salmon with 1 tablespoon of Teriyaki Sauce in a bowl, then set aside while you cook the noodles. (No need to marinate)
• Cook your noodles per the packet directions. Drain, briefly rinse under tap water then set aside.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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!).
• 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.
• 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!

THAI STYLE SALMON ON COCONUT MILK NOODLES

Steps:

• Marinade: In a bowl, combine all the ingredients except for the fish. Season with pepper.
• Slice the salmon lengthwise into four 2.5-cm (1-inch) wide pieces.
• Place in the marinade, coat thoroughly and let marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
• Drain the salmon. Wrap each piece on itself to form tournedos and keep everything in place with string. Keep refrigerated.
• Noodles: Cook the noodles in salted boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes or until tender. Drain and rinse under cold running water.
• Spread the noodles on a large clean cloth and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Preheat the grill, setting the burners to medium.
• Coconut Milk Sauce: In a saucepan, bring all the ingredients to a boil, except for the herbs. Simmer for 2 minutes over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
• Grill the salmon tournedos for about 3 minutes on each side; you could also use a ridged skillet. Keep warm.
