This hearty one-bowl meal is rich with the flavours of Japan. A quick marinade on the salmon imparts big flavour that will be mirrored in the sauce on the buckwheat soba noodles. Crunchy roasted broccolini, aka baby broccoli, looks like a long, skinny cousin of traditional broccoli only on individual stalks. Shiitake mushrooms are deeply flavourful with umami and a meaty texture, especially when roasted. The garlic paste has a spicy kick and works well as an additional condiment for the finished meal. Have this on your dinner table in under an hour and take your family on a flavour vacation.
