French-Style Fruity Cold Noodles

Ingredients

Method

1. Let’s make the Easy Salmon Terrine

   1

   With a mortar and pestle, crush the salmon and hanpen fish cake together until they are a smooth paste that is an even light orange color. Add the cream and stir until thoroughly blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. On a sheet of cling wrap, form the paste into small, half-round loaves about 6cm long. Wrap the loaves completely in cling wrap and put them on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for approximately 2 minutes in a 500 watt microwave. Then set out to cool. Once completely cooled, place in the fridge to chill. Once fully chilled, remove from the fridge and cut into 1cm slices.

   Hard-boil the egg. Once cooled, slice it.

3. Let’s make the toppings

   Chop the lettuce into thin strips. Peel the cucumber and cut into rounds. Remove the tops of the strawberries and slice vertically into 3-4 slices.

   Boil the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and cool them with running water, and chill them further in a bowl of ice water and then drain again and place in a bowl. Top the noodles with lettuce around the edges of the bowl. Down the center, plate alternating slices of the hard-boiled egg and salmon terrine. Decorate around the slices with the cucumber slices and sliced strawberries on both sides. Add Japanese mayonnaise and seasonal berries if desired. Drizzle with the special sauce and you’re done!
