Stay Awake

1 Preheat oven to 200°C. Place salmon in a baking dish lined with baking paper. In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce and mirin. Spoon half of the soy mixture over salmon and bake for 10 -15 minutes. Remove salmon from oven and spoon over remaining soy mixture. When cool enough to handle, gently break into chunks.

2 Bring a saucepan filled with water to the boil and add soba noodles. Cook for 7 minutes, until tender. Drain, run under cold water, and drain again.

3 In a large salad bowl, combine dressing ingredients and 1 tablespoon of hot water. Add noodles, daikon, carrot, courgette and broad beans. Mix well.

4 Divide salad between 2 plates and serve topped with salmon. Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.

Variations

If you can’t find mirin, use 1 teaspoon sugar instead.

Make it low FODMAP: Swap broad beans for edamame or green beans.

HFG tip

If you don’t have a julienne peeler or spiraliser, peel vegetables into ribbons using a peeler.
