Ingredients

Switch to Cup Measures

for the noodles with salmon

  • 400 grams soba noodles
  • fresh root ginger (a knob)
  • 4 small salmon fillets (skinned)
  • 1 bunch spinach (washed and stemmed)
  • 4 spring onions (sliced on the diagonal)

for the dashi broth

  • 1.5 litres water
  • 15 grams instant dashi powder
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons mirin teriyaki sauce (if you can find a bottle of teriyaki sauce, just use that)
  • 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sake
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil

Method

  1. To make teriyaki sauce, combine soy, sake, mirin, sugar and oil in a small pot and heat, stirring, until sugar has dissolved. Set aside.
  2. Heat water in a second pot, and add dashi powder, soy and mirin. Peel ginger, cut into cubes and crush in a garlic press until you have 1 tbsp of ginger juice. Add juice to the broth and adjust flavourings to taste.
  3. Fill a large pot three-quarters full with cold water and bring to a high boil. Add the noodles, separating them as they go in. Allow the water to return to the boil, then add a cup of cold water. Allow to return to the boil, then add a second cup of cold water. When the water boils once more, remove from the heat, drain the noodles, rinse under cold water, and drain again.
  4. Brush salmon with teriyaki sauce and grill quickly, on an oiled grill, leaving the inside lightly pink.
  5. Bring broth to just below the boil. Add noodles for 30 seconds to heat through, then divide noodles between 4 warmed bowls.
  6. Dip spinach leaves briefly into the broth to wilt them, and divide among bowls. Ladle hot broth into each bowl, and top noodles with grilled salmon.
  7. Scatter green onions on top and serve with chopsticks and spoons.
