Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Cook the soba noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the Chinese peas and blanch for about 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets and cook each side for about 4-5 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, then flake into bite-sized pieces.
- In a small bowl, combine the mirin, vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and minced ginger root. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and ingredients are well mixed.
- Thinly slice the red bell pepper and scallions. Julienne the cucumber into thin strips. Dice the avocado just before assembling the dish to prevent it from browning.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked soba noodles, blanched Chinese peas, flaked salmon, red bell pepper, cucumber, and scallions. Pour the dressing over the mixture and toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
- Transfer the soba noodle mixture to serving plates or bowls. Gently fold in the diced avocado. Optional: garnish with additional sesame seeds or chopped fresh herbs if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Soba Noodles with Avocado and Salmon!
Tips:
- Ensure the salmon is fresh and of high quality as it is the star of the dish.
- Do not overcook the salmon; it should be flaky and moist.
- When slicing vegetables like cucumber and red pepper, aim for even sizes to ensure they cook evenly.
- Use ripe but firm avocados to avoid them turning mushy in the dish.
- You can replace mirin with a touch of honey mixed with water if you don't have it on hand.
- For additional flavor, you can toast the sesame oil in a pan before adding it to the dish.
- Rinse the soba noodles under cold water after cooking to stop the cooking process and remove excess starch.
- Feel free to customize the recipe by adding other fresh vegetables you have on hand.
This dish of soba noodles with avocado and salmon is a wonderful blend of flavors and textures. The sweet and savory dressing perfectly complements the fresh vegetables and rich salmon, while the soft avocado adds a delightful creaminess. It's a delicious and satisfying meal that's healthy and easy to prepare. Enjoy your homemade culinary creation!
