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.
