  • Method

  • 1
    Cut the spring onions length-ways and repeat until you have fine ribbons.
  • 2
    Place the shredded onions into a bowl of cold water and place in the fridge for 1 hour. See Cook?s Notes.
  • 3
    Cut the salmon fillet into four pieces place into a dish and coat with the teriyaki sauce on both sides.
  • 4
    Cover with cling-film and place in the fridge to marinate for 30 minutes. See Cook?s Notes.
  • 5
    Drain any excess teriyaki sauce from the salmon.
  • 6
    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.
  • 7
    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.
  • 8
    Wash out the casserole.
  • 9
    Add the vegetable and sesame oils, together, to the casserole. Place on the hob over a medium heat.
  • 10
    Add the onion, chopped ginger and garlic and stir fry for 3-4 minutes.
  • 11
    Add the peppers and mushrooms, continue to cook for a couple of minutes more.
  • 12
    Stir in the blanched shredded greens, cooked noodles, chilli flakes, soy sauce and toasted sesame seeds and continue to stir-fry until heated through.
  • 13
    Break up the warm seared salmon into large chunks and place on the top of the vegetables and noodles See Cook?s Notes.
  • 14
    Drain the spring onions and dry on some kitchen paper.
  • 15
    Arrange the curled spring onions on top of the salmon and serve.
  • 16
    Adding ice cubes to the water will speed up the process of curling the onions.
  • 17
    Only a short time is required as most marinades will start to cook the fish.
  • 18
    You can use the lid at this stage to keep the stir-fry warm before adding the spring onions and serving.
  • 19
    Japanese soy sauce is more refined than Chinese and less salty. It can be found in most good supermarkets and specialist stores.
