It’s been a while since I posted a recipe using one of our favourite foods, salmon.
Lightly poaching the salmon and vegetables in the spicy coconut broth for a few minutes and then pouring it over some rice noodles is all it takes to get this delicious dish on the table on a cold Tuesday night.
For our younger kids who don’t like spicy food, I serve them noodles, salmon and vegetables and not much broth.
For ourselves and our eldest, we enjoy it almost like a soup, with forks and spoons, drinking up the liquid at the end.
