    This was a nice and healthy-feeling weeknight dinner. The salmon came out wonderful, and the soba noodles are a great change from the usual carbs. I think 50 grams per person is a little meagre though, and I did end up doubling the amount of garlic and ginger too. My main problem came with using broad beans instead of soy beans as I couldn't locate them at the supermarket. I ended up spending ages popping them from their skin and burning my fingers in the process... don't go down that route. I'd love to find some soy beans to make this again, I do love edamame and I think it would make this dish a complete knockout.

    This is a great, easy and healthy dish. My husband is convinced its from the wagamama cookbook because it's so similar to recipes I've done from there before. I have had no trouble sourcing soya beans, you don't even need to find a Chinese supermarket and shell edamame, Birdseye do frozen ones that I found in Sainsburys.

    All the family enjoyed this recipe, however there were some draw backs on the way it is cooked, if I do this recipe again I would bake the fish with a little of the marinade in foil in the oven, to make it easier when dishing the meal out.

    Excellent, good flavour savoury and sour tastes with the mild popping Edame beans and noodle. Very quick to cook. I made this for one and didn't reduce the amount if ginger or garlic but halved the vinegar and soy sauce, but added a bit if dark soy by accident. I'll do this one again.

    Everyone enjoyed this, even my two children, 10 & 6 years old. Made a few amendments: Ground ginger as we're not very keen on ginger. Udon noodles as no soba in supermarket Used a mixture of baby corn, asparagus, broccoli & peppers as that's what we had in. Used cod loin instead of salmon as it was half price. Anyway, even with all those substitutions it was still yummy and we'll make it again!
