Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, whisk together gochujang, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the glaze.

    ~5 min
  2. 2

    Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Spoon about half of the gochujang glaze over the salmon, ensuring they are evenly coated.

    ~2 min
  3. 3

    Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.

    ~3 min
  4. 4

    Add the rice noodles to the hot oil. Fry, stirring occasionally, until they puff up and become crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.

    ~3 min
  5. 5

    Add the glazed salmon fillets to the same frying pan (you may need to add a tiny bit more oil if it's dry). Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the glaze is caramelized. Baste with remaining glaze during the last minute of cooking.

    ~10 min
  6. 6

    Serve the glazed salmon over the crispy rice noodles. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

    ~1 min

Tips

  • For extra crispy noodles, ensure the oil is hot enough before adding them. You can test by dropping one noodle in; it should puff up immediately.
  • This glaze can also be used on chicken or tofu. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
