Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • 1 zucchini
  • 1 sweet potato
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1 green onion
  • 1/2 Cheongyang chili
  • 1/2 red chili
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil (for stir-frying) + 6 tbsp (for sauce)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2-3 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 salted mackerel
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp wasabi
  • Pinch of furikake

Recipe 🍳

  1. Cut the zucchini and sweet potato into thin, long noodle shapes, about 1mm thick, using a rotary slicer or by hand.
  2. Thinly slice the onion and green onion. Lightly chop the Cheongyang and red chilies.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a pan. Add half of the sweet potato noodles and all of the zucchini noodles. Season with salt and lightly stir-fry, then let cool.
  4. Heat avocado oil in another pan. Place the salted mackerel with scored skin-side down and press gently to ensure the skin becomes crispy. Grill until golden brown on both sides without pressing down.
  5. In a bowl, combine 6 tablespoons of sesame oil, 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of wasabi. Mix thoroughly to ensure the wasabi is evenly distributed and not clumpy, creating the special sauce.
  6. Combine the cooled stir-fried noodles, the remaining raw sweet potato noodles, sliced onion, green onion, and chilies in a large bowl. Pour the sauce over and toss to coat evenly.
  7. Serve the dressed vegetable noodles generously in a bowl. Break the grilled mackerel into pieces and place on top. Garnish with the reserved green onion, red chili, and furikake to finish.
  1. Cut the zucchini and sweet potato into thin, long noodle shapes.

  4. Prepare the sauce by mixing sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, and wasabi.
  5. Toss the vegetable noodles and vegetables with the sauce, then serve with grilled mackerel and garnishes.

Cooking tips 💡

  • The key is to use a mix of stir-fried and raw sweet potato noodles to enjoy both their sweetness when cooked and their crispness when raw.
  • When mixing the wasabi sauce, carefully break up any clumps of wasabi with your fingers to ensure an even spiciness.
  • Mackerel has a lot of natural oil. Scoring the skin before grilling makes it extra crispy and flavorful.
