Ingredients

- 1 pound salmon fillet, skinless
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced (any color)

How to Make Crispy Noodles with Vegetables and Salmon
- Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the cooked noodles and spread them out in the pan.
- Let the noodles cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes, or until they start to turn golden and crispy. Carefully flip the noodles to crisp the other side, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes. Once crispy, transfer the noodles to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper, then place it skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the salmon from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Add the carrots and bell peppers to the skillet, stir-frying for about 2-3 minutes until they are just tender but still vibrant. Stir in the green onions and cook for another minute.
- Drizzle in the soy sauce and lime juice, tossing the vegetables to coat.
- To serve, place the crispy noodles on a plate, top with the sautéed vegetables, and finish with slices of salmon. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
Tips for the Best Results
- For extra crunch, let the noodles sit undisturbed for a few extra minutes while cooking.
- Use fresh, high-quality salmon for the best flavor.
- Feel free to adjust the soy sauce and lime juice to suit your taste preferences.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Easy Variations
- Swap out salmon for shrimp, chicken, or tofu for a different protein option.
- Incorporate other vegetables like snap peas, broccoli, or bok choy for added nutrition and color.
- For a gluten-free option, use rice noodles and tamari instead of soy sauce.
What to Serve With It
- A light cucumber salad for a refreshing side.
- Steamed edamame sprinkled with sea salt.
- Miso soup for a heartwarming starter.
- A simple green salad dressed with sesame vinaigrette.
Storage and Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or soy sauce to keep the noodles from drying out.
