Ingredients
1 tablespoon chopped pickled ginger
8 radishes, trimmed and thinly sliced
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
black sesame seeds to serve
250 grams smoked salmon
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons caster sugar
200 grams green tea noodles
1/2 teaspoon wasabi
handful of baby shiso leaves
Directions
In a small bowl, combine the chopped pickled ginger, wasabi, soy sauce, sesame oil, caster sugar, and rice wine vinegar. Whisk together until the sugar dissolves and all ingredients are well blended. Set the dressing aside.
Bring a large saucepan of water to a rolling boil. Add the green tea noodles and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are just tender.
Drain the cooked noodles in a colander and immediately rinse them under cold running water, tossing gently to cool and prevent them from sticking together.
Divide the cooled noodles evenly among four serving plates or bowls.
Top each portion with sliced radishes, then break or arrange the smoked salmon pieces over the noodles.
Drizzle the pickled ginger dressing evenly over each plate.
Finish by scattering baby shiso leaves and black sesame seeds over the top of each serving. Serve immediately.
Comments
This is a polished dish that asks for a second stop: baby shiso leaves are not stocked at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, Walmart, ALDI, or Kroger banners in Charlotte, and finding them fresh will mean a trip to an Asian market. The smoked salmon and specialty noodles push cost per serving toward $8–10, making it a treat rather than a weeknight staple. The stated 25 minutes is honest if your radish and ginger are prepped, but the dressing benefits from five minutes of gentle whisking. Reheats poorly; this is a same-night dish best served at temperature, and the noodles firm up overnight. It suits a composed dinner for four who enjoy Japanese flavours and have the budget and time to source fresh ingredients.
