What you’ll need:
A mixing bowl, hand mixer, rubber band, tray, cutting board
Ingredients (2 servings):
Frill lettuce – 80 g
Soba – 1 bunch (about 80 g)
Red onion – ¼
Smoked salmon (preferably smoked, but raw is also acceptable) – 40 g
Rice paper (small) – 6 sheets
Edible flower – 6
For the watercress and culinary argan sauce:
- Watercress – 60 g
- Red pepper – ½
- Salt – 1 teaspoon
- Nuts (hazelnuts, walnuts) – 30 g
- Garlic (grated) – 2 g
- Rice vinegar – ½ tablespoon
- Roasted sesame seeds – ½ teaspoon
- SULA NYC culinary argan oil – 15 g
Preparation:
- To make the watercress and culinary argan sauce; cut the watercress moderately. Place all ingredients in the bowl and mix with the hand blender.
- Bundle one end of the soba with the rubber band and cook in boiling water (according to the recommended cooking time on the soba package). Once boiled, rinse with water. Cut off the rubber band bound end. Be careful not to break the bundle.
- Fill the tray with water and dip one side of the rice paper into the water. Place the soaked side up on a cutting board, and add the frilled lettuce, buckwheat noodles, and red onion in a 1 cm space from the front of the paper. Roll. After the first roll, place the
smoked salmon and edible flowers so they are neatly visible from the outside and roll to the end. It’s ok if the lettuce is protruding from both ends. Repeat the procedure for all the rice papers. - Cut in half and serve on a plate. Put the watercress and culinary argan sauce in a dish and serve on the side.
