TOPPING
Method
- Cut the spring onions length-ways and repeat until you have fine ribbons.
- Place the shredded onions into a bowl of cold water and place in the fridge for 1 hour.
- Cut the salmon fillet into four pieces place into a dish and coat with the teriyaki sauce on both sides.
- Cover with cling-film and place in the fridge to marinate for 30 minutes.
- Drain any excess teriyaki sauce from the salmon
- Heat the vegetable oil in the casserole on the hob over a medium heat. Sear the salmon on both sides for about 4 minutes until crisp and well coloured but still pink in the middle.
- Place the fish into a dish and keep warm. Do not cover or the steam will make the outside of the fish lose its crispness.
- Wash out the casserole.
- Add the vegetable and sesame oils, together, to the casserole. Place on the hob over a medium heat.
- Add the onion, chopped ginger and garlic and stir fry for 3-4 minutes.
- Add the peppers and mushrooms, continue to cook for a couple of minutes more.
- Stir in the blanched shredded greens, cooked noodles, chilli flakes, soy sauce and toasted sesame seeds and continue to stir-fry until heated through.
- Break up the warm seared salmon into large chunks and place on the top of the vegetables and noodles.
- Drain the spring onions and dry on some kitchen paper.
- Arrange the curled spring onions on top of the salmon and serve.
- Adding ice cubes to the water will speed up the process of curling the onions.
- Only a short time is required as most marinades will start to cook the fish.
- You can use the lid at this stage to keep the stir-fry warm before adding the spring onions and serving.
- Japanese soy sauce is more refined than Chinese and less salty. It can be found in most good supermarkets and specialist stores.
