Directions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sliced or flaked salmon with soy sauce and leave to marinate while you are getting the other ingredients ready.
- Preheat a large wok or non-stick pan over high heat and add oil. Add garlic, ginger, chilli (if using) and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes.
- Add in the cabbage. Continue to stir fry for another 3-4 minutes or until the cabbage is soft and has reduced in volume. Place the lid on so it will steam. Add a spoon of water if needed.
- Add in the sliced, marinated salmon, then the vinegar or water.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and mix in the cooked thin noodles.
- Serve hot topped with almonds and coriander. Serve with a squeeze of quartered limes over.
