Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings
- Fresh salmon fillet, plenty
- 0.5 onion
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda
- 1/3 cup dark soy sauce
- wasabi, a little
- radish sprouts, a little
- 1 lemon wedge
Recipe 🍳
- Place fresh salmon fillet on the cutting board and cut against the grain of the white fat lines into long, noodle-like strips.
- If the salmon belly is too thick, slice it thinly horizontally as if filleting, then cut into long strips to keep the noodle thickness even.
- Thinly julienne half an onion, and to preserve crunchiness and remove the spicy taste, soak the slices in cold water sufficiently before preparing the dish.
- In a measuring container, pour together 1 cup of lemon-lime soda and 1/3 cup of dark soy sauce to make a clean noodle sauce without any added sugar or seasoning.
- Taste the sauce lightly and adjust by adding a small amount of soda or soy sauce to suit your preference.
- Evenly spread the thoroughly drained crunchy onion slices over the bottom of a shallow bowl.
- On top of the onion slices, generously place the thin, long salmon sashimi strips as if twirling noodles.
- Garnish with radish sprouts, fresh wasabi, and a refreshing lemon slice, and right before eating, squeeze lemon juice into the sauce or add a little vinegar to enjoy.
- Slice salmon against the grain into thin, long strips; soak julienned onion in cold water to remove spicy flavor.
- Mix 1 cup lemon-lime soda and 1/3 cup dark soy sauce evenly to create a special sweet and savory sauce.
- Place onion slices and salmon noodles in a bowl, then top with wasabi, radish sprouts, lemon juice, and pour the sauce over to accompany.
Cooking tips 💡
- When cutting salmon sashimi, cut against the grain instead of with it so that when you pick up long strands with chopsticks, the flesh stays firm and springy without breaking.
- Using regular lemon-lime soda rather than sugar-free zero soda is much better for creating the characteristic rich sweetness and savory depth in the sauce.
- If fresh lemon is unavailable, mixing about 0.5 tablespoon of store-bought lemon juice or plain vinegar into the sauce will double the refreshing taste.
