1 1/2 cups cold water
2 -3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (1 lb) package frozen stir-fry vegetables
1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts (smoetimes I use canned baby corn instead)

Steps:

  • Break up ramen noodles and cook according to package directions, but not using seasoning packet.
  • Drain and keep warm.
  • In small saucepan, mix cornstarch, seasoning packet from noodles, water, reserved salmon liquid (if using canned salmon), soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and ginger.

  • Stir-fry 3 minutes.
  • Add salmon; cover and cook 1 minute.
  • Add noodles and sauce; stir gently and heat through.
  • ENJOY!

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon. Use fresh, wild-caught salmon fillets or steaks for the best flavor and texture.
  • Cut the salmon into bite-sized pieces. This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
  • Marinate the salmon. This is optional, but it will help to add flavor and moisture to the fish.
  • Use a hot pan. This will help to sear the salmon and prevent it from sticking.
  • Cook the salmon for a short time. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
  • Add vegetables to the stir-fry. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to the dish.
  • Serve the stir-fry over rice or noodles. This will make a complete and satisfying meal.

Conclusion:

Salmon stir-fry is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor.
