Soba noodles, smoked salmon & coconut-lime sauce – IKEA Food Challenge
We’ve all been there, done that: blood, sweat and tears (and maybe even a fine discussion with your spouse) to put your just bought cabinet together, and then it turns out there are some screws left… Recognisable? Be prepared and make sure you can start the job full of energy.
These noodles with Swedish salmon will certainly give you that energy! I used soba noodles because of the delicious nutty flavour. Ginger, coconut and lime are classic Asian flavours that lift this dish, I love that combination… Some spring onions, coriander and carrot for the vitamins and since you also eat with your eyes I topped the dish with black sesame seeds.
The Ikea Food Challenge is a Dutch competition that runs in September 2015. The winning recipe will be on the 2016 menu of all Ikea stores in The Netherlands.

By the time I made the pictures of this dish, the noodles turned cold but it actually tasted really well! So, both hot and cold serving, perfect!
