Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 2 servings salmon fillet
  • 2 servings udon noodles
  • 1 tbsp ssamjang

  • A little pepper

Recipe 🍳

  1. Cut the salmon into bite-sized cubes.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of ssamjang to the cubed salmon, mix well, and let it marinate for 5-10 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
  3. Finely chop the Cheongyang and red chili peppers, and finely chop the scallions for garnish.
  4. Boil the udon noodles in boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain thoroughly in a colander.
  5. Melt 1 piece of butter in a pan over medium heat, then add the marinated salmon and cook.

  7. Place the cooked udon noodles in a bowl, then top with the grilled salmon and any remaining buttery pan sauce.
  8. Drizzle with mayonnaise in a zigzag pattern, sprinkle with chopped scallions and chopped chili peppers, and finish with a dash of pepper.
  1. Cube the salmon and marinate in ssamjang for 5-10 minutes.
  2. Chop chili peppers and scallions, and boil udon noodles for 2 minutes, draining well.

  4. Place udon noodles in a bowl, top with grilled salmon and remaining butter sauce.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Thinner parts of the salmon cook faster than thicker parts, so add them to the pan slightly later to ensure even cooking.
  • The ssamjang marinade can burn easily over high heat. Cook gently over medium heat or lower to preserve its savory flavor.
  • When plating the noodles, gently lift and twist them as you place them in the bowl to create volume and a more appealing presentation.
