Fresh ginger and tamari sauce flavor salmon fillets and Chinese noodles for this Asian dinner. The salmon takes 10 minutes to marinate. Start it first and prepare the remaining ingredients. Once this is done the meal takes less than 10 minutes to cook. Tamari is a Japanese form of soy sauce. It’s usually made with less wheat than soy sauce and some brands make a gluten free product.
Chinese noodles can be found in many sizes and shapes. Many markets carry steamed Chinese noodles in the produce section.
