Know how - Trout
Rainbow trout, one of the UK’s best-known
freshwater fish, is mainly farmed. Sea trout, a larger
variety, is sea-going but returns to fresh waters to
breed. It is delicious wrapped in bacon and roasted.
Method
-
Bring the stock and shredded ginger to
the boil in a large pan, add the noodles,
then simmer for 4 mins until tender.
-
Drain, then cool under cold running water.
Mix together the soy, tahini and 2 tbsp
water (or more if you need) to make a
dressing the consistency of single cream.
Toss the cooled noodles and fish with the
dressing and cucumber. Scatter with the
spring onions and sesame seeds, then
drizzle with a little sesame oil, if using.
