You may ask: but where’s my broth? We promise your ramen noodles will be perfectly happy once tossed with our three star ingredients: fiery sambal olek, nutty sesame oil, and lots of fresh spicy ginger. And so will you! Get ready to slurp. Cook, relax and enjoy!

What You’ll Need:

1 lime
4 scallions
1 bunch broccolini
1 clove garlic
1 oz fresh ginger
2 oz low sodium, gluten free soy sauce
1 teaspoon sambal oelek
2 oz toasted sesame oil
12 oz salmon
5 oz ramen noodles
sugar

Equipment:

zester or microplane
pot
large nonstick skillet
colander

Recipe steps:

  1. Prep ingredients

    Zest and juice lime. Thinly slice scallions. Trim broccolini stalk ends and cut in half lengthwise. Peel and grate garlic and ginger. Remove salmon skin by sliding a knife between skin and flesh, angling the knife towards the skin. Cut salmon into 1 to 2-inch chunks.

  2. Marinate salmon

    Combine lime zest and juice, garlic, ginger, soy, sambal oelek, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Add salmon chunks and toss to coat.

  3. Cook noodles

    Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add broccolini and cook for 2 minutes. Remove with tongs or a slotted spoon. Add noodles to water and cook for 2 minutes. Drain well.

  4. Cook salmon

    Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in large nonstick skillet over high heat. Drain the salmon from the marinade (reserving marinade) and cook, turning for 1 ½ minutes until caramelized. Remove and wipe out skillet.

  5. Add vegetables

    Add remaining oil to the skillet over medium high heat. Add ¾ of the scallions and stir fry for 30 seconds. Add the broccolini and the reserved salmon marinade. Cook, stirring, until broccolini is cooked, about 3-5 minutes.

  6. Finish

    Add ¼ cup of water, the noodles and the salmon. Cook, tossing gently until warmed throughout, about 2 minutes. Top with remaining scallions. Enjoy!
