Sauce
For an authentic tasting sauce, use Soyu, which is a Japanese soy sauce that is packed with umami. It yields a more robust flavor profile than plain soy sauce, and is generally used as a soup base for noodles. Next we will add in 2 tbsp of Tahini or sesame paste. Lastly, add in a splash of chili oil. Mind you, chilli oil is best made at home. It adds more flavor than store brought and easy enough to make. Mix till all the lumps are gone and keep aside.
Broth
For the broth, start with 2 cups of water and 2 cups of soya milk. This adds body and a certain silkiness to the dish. Into this, crush in 2 tbsp of chicken bouillon cubes – chicken powder works too. Simmer this concoction for four minutes.
Fish
While the broth cooks, fry the salmon in another pan. Julienned ginger in hot chili oil is perfect for a well seasoned salmon fry. Fry the fish on both sides. This should take around 3 minutes.
Keep the salmon aside and in the same oil, add in 3-4 cloves of minced garlic and the same amount of crushed ginger. Stir for a minute and dump in 1 tbsp of chili bean sauce. A tbsp of oyster sauce, and mix it together on medium heat. Once the flavors start to come together, put the salmon in the sauce for less than a minute on both sides.
Combine
Next simply boil your ramen noodles, blanch your Bok Choy, cut the green onions and keep aside. In a deep serving bowl, ladle in your broth, add the cooked noodles, top off with Bok Choy, green onions and the salmon and have yourself a hearty meal!
