Japanese Salmon Soba Noodles01

What I like about this dish is its simplicity. This noodle dish is very versatile, suitable for lunch or dinner, throughout the year. My husband is very fond of the crispy salmon skin, and I love the rich flavours of the sauce cutting through the fish meat. The soba noodles can be served hot or cold.

  4. Hi Christine,
    I've scrolled down your recent posts and have bookmarked so many and the more I see the more recipes I want to bookmark too
    Thanks for sharing so many wonderful recipes and tips
    Like this recipe, it gives me inspiration, cos when it comes to salmon, I am usually clueless, I end up pan fry or bake with roughly the same ingredients again and again. Now I have one more way to cook salmon :)
    Have a great week ahead :)

  6. Soba noodles are a dish that has deep ties with Nihombashi. Soba is usually refers to thin noodles made from buckwheat flour, or a combination of buckwheat and wheat flours.
