Ingredients
  

  • 400 g salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into chunks
  • 200 g egg noodles or rice noodles
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
  • 1/3 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey or brown sugar (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Spring onions, sliced, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, tossing lightly with a little oil to prevent sticking.
  • Step 2: Season the salmon pieces lightly with salt and black pepper.
  • Step 3: Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the salmon and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and just cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Step 4: In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed. Add garlic and ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Step 5: Add snap peas and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender but still crisp.
  • Step 6: Lower the heat and add sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey if using, and chili flakes. Stir well to combine.
  • Step 7: Add the cooked noodles to the pan and toss until evenly coated with the sauce.
  • Step 8: Gently return the salmon to the pan and fold it into the noodles, being careful not to break it up too much.
  • Step 9: Cook for another 1–2 minutes until everything is heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
