Salmon and peanut butter noodles🍜🍜🍜

-Salmon and peanut butter noodles is a delicious and unique dish that combines the richness of salmon with the creamy goodness of peanut butter.

Ingredients:

2 bunches broccolini, cut into long, thin florets

500g fresh hokkien noodles

60g (1 ⁄4 cup) panang curry paste

60ml (1⁄4 cup) peanut oil

4 skinless salmon fillets

2 French shallots, peeled, thinly sliced

250ml (1 cup) Massel Organic Chicken Liquid Stock

1 tbsp soy sauce

2 tsp fresh lime juice

130g (1⁄2 cup) smooth peanut butter

1 tbsp brown sugar

Toasted sesame seeds, to serve

Sliced green shallot, to serve

Lime cheeks, to serve

Sliced long fresh red chilli, to serve (optional)

Directions:

-Cook the broccolini in a large saucepan of boiling water for 2 minutes or until tender crisp. Use tongs to transfer to a bowl. Remove pan of water from heat. Add noodles. Set aside for 5 minutes or until softened slightly. Drain. Transfer to the bowl.

-Meanwhile, place 2 tbsp curry paste and 1 tbsp oil in a large bowl. Stir until combined. Add salmon and toss until coated. Heat 1 tbsp remaining oil in a large frying pan. Add the salmon and cook for 3-4 minutes each side. Transfer to a plate. Cover to keep warm.

-Heat the remaining oil in the pan over medium heat. Add the French shallot and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes or until softened. Add the remaining curry paste and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds or until aromatic. Add the stock, soy sauce, lime juice, peanut butter and sugar. Cook, stirring, until the mixture comes to the boil. Add the noodle mixture and toss until well coated. Divide among serving bowls. Top with the salmon. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, green shallot and chilli, if using. Serve with lime cheeks.

Since rice noodles are so sticky, they work wonderfully in this recipe because they grab ahold of the flavorful sauce. Feel free to use any type of rice noodles such as pad thai, stir-fry, vermicelli, straight cut, etc. Often times I’ll stop by our local Asian market and just grab whatever variety looks interesting that day! No need to fret about the shape or size.

Pasta may very well be one of the most popular carbohydrates in the culinary world. It can be served on its own with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of herbs, or it can be topped off with a meaty tomato sauce. Fold into casseroles or soups, or toss into salads for a heartier main dish. With so many different types of pasta shapes and names, you can choose from a variety of noodle types with striking designs, various sizes, and different textures for your menu.

I’ve previously shared stories where Dozer has been randomly recognised on the streets by readers (ah, it makes me proud!) and the odd occasion when I’ve been recognised. Always in a state of disarray. I am waiting for the time it happens when I just happen to be dolled up for an evening out.🤞🏼
