Japanese Salmon Ramen with Chile-Ginger Dressing and Wheat Noodles

Ingredients

serves 6

For the Salmon

1 1/2 pounds salmon fillet, skinned
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
5 tablespoons store-bought teriyaki marinade
Vegetable oil, for rubbing

For the Dressing

2 tablespoons black or red-wine vinegar
1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
6 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
1 piece (2 inches) peeled fresh ginger, finely grated

For Serving

1 pound thin wheat noodles or soba noodles
1 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon instant dashi stock powder
3 scallions, white parts cut into 1-inch pieces, green parts thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups tatsoi or baby spinach
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  1. Step 1

    Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Transfer to a resealable bag. Add the teriyaki marinade; gently toss to coat. Refrigerate at least 1 hour (up to 4 hours).

    Step 2

    Make the dressing: Whisk together the vinegar, chili sauce, fish sauce, and ginger in a small bowl; set aside.

    步骤3

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles, and cook according to package instructions, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain, and rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking. Set aside.

    Step 4

    Remove the salmon from the marinade, and rub with oil; reserve marinade. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the salmon; cook, flipping once, until dark brown, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Add about half of the reserved marinade during last minute of cooking, and flip salmon to coat. Transfer to a plate. Let stand 5 minutes. Flake into large chunks.

    Step 5

    Bring 6 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Stir in the dashi powder and white part of scallion. Reduce to a simmer, and cook 3 minutes. Set aside.

    Step 6

    To serve, divide the noodles among 6 serving bowls; ladle some dashi broth over noodles. Divide the salmon and tatsoi among bowls. Drizzle with dressing; sprinkle with sesame seeds and green part of scallions. Serve immediately.
