Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Start by soaking the rice noodles in hot water until pliable, then drain.
  2. Roast the salmon with half of the olive oil, salt, and pepper until just flaky, then break into large pieces.
  3. Heat the remaining oil in a wide pan and cook garlic briefly until fragrant.
  4. Add vegetables and stir-fry until just tender but still crisp.
  5. Push vegetables to the side, crack in the eggs, and scramble lightly.
  6. Add noodles, soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar.
  7. Toss everything together until coated and heated through.
  8. Gently fold in salmon pieces at the end.
  9. Finish with peanuts and fresh cilantro.

Common Mistakes

  • Overcooking the salmon — it should stay moist and flaky.
  • Adding all sauce at once without tasting — balance matters here.
  • Letting noodles sit too long in water — they should stay springy.
