Green tea noodle salad with smoked salmon
Easy and delicious green tea noodle salad with smoked salmon and a pickled ginger dressing. Recipe by Donna Hay.
Green tea noodle salad with smoked salmon
Originally this dish was made for one of the Donna Hay challenges I hosted years ago. It was a photography challenge with both photo and recipe from Donna Hay as the guide. But apart from the fact that I saw some amazing images come out of that challenge it is also a delicious recipe. So despite the fact that the contest was long ago, I wanted to keep the recipe alive.
Green tea noodles is not something you can find anywhere. I can sometimes find it in the Asian grocery store and sometimes I cannot. If I do I tend to buy some extra as I really love the flavor of the added matcha tea into the noodles. If you like the flavor of matcha than have a look out for this type of noodles.
Quick recipe
The recipe for these green tea noodles with smoked salmon and a spicy ginger dressing is easy. It is literally just a matter of cooking the noodles and mixing the dressing. The dressing is the hero here and you need pickled ginger to make it. Pickled ginger is typically what is served when you eat sushi. You know the slightly pinkish ginger slices? You can easily buy those in a jar and use them for this dressing.
It’s almost more of a green tea noodle salad than an actual warm noodle dish. You cook the green tea noodles and than you rinse it under cold water. So it does cool down a bit and combined with the crunchy radishes and the sprouts it’s super delicious.
Quick noodle dish
The green tea noodles give this dish some flavor as well. It’s the combination that is so good. You can leave it to Donna Hay to come up with a fresh and delicious recipe such as this!

A lovely dish Simone, makes we wish for it even before I’ve had my breakfast.
I never knew about Donna Hays until I met you! Her photography style, recipe with the innovative mix of ingredients is right up my alley.
I own neither a book and only 1 Donna Hay magazine.
I would love to give this book an honorable spot in my kitchen!
Have a great Sunday, hope it is sunny!
A beautiful noodle dish! Refined and delicious. I love those dreamy shots.
Donna Hay has a unique style and as I don’t know much about her, I’d love to win one of her books and delve into her world…
Cheers,
Rosa
What a generous giveaway!
I’d love to win this book, because I really like her philosophy. Food that tastes great and is healthy is what I try to focus on, and I’d love to win a book full of recipes like that. (There’s a Pea and Ricotta Frittata that I’d love to try, and so much more!)
I have not seen green tea noodles here or could be i have never looked specially for it as i didn’t know about it.
Love Donna Hay style of cooking and love her show too plus her photography I think is beautiful.
Ik hou van nieuwe dingen uitproberen, maar het mag niet te veel werk zijn. Lekker puur en simpel eten. Zag Donna Hay een paar keer op 24 kitchen en volgens mij kookt zij wel zo? Een kookboek lijkt me dus heel leuk.
Succes met je site en lekkere recepten verder!
Fabulous recipe, Simone. I absolutely LOVE the look of those noodles! Must try to get a hold of some.
Raise your hands in the air if you’re a HUGE Donna Hay Fan!
*both my hands are in the air*
… well, I am typing, so they are not exactly in the air…
But I AM a huge Donna Hay Fan!
Not only is she the queen of styling from down under, she is also a super mazing business woman and part of the MasterChef Australia family (and I am a BIG MasterChef fan too!). <3 Donna!
My sister-in-law *swears* by Fresh and Light. I still don't have a copy. So if there's a spare for me, I would be ever so grateful and sure to put it to good use!
This looks like a wonderful cookbook. I have a large cookbook collection and this would make a wonderful addition!
I love your blog… and your noodles! 🙂
Thanks!
