    *RAW EGG WARNING

    Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk

    of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh,

    properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks

    or whites and the shell.

    Plating: Serve sandwich with taro chips.

    3/3

    2 tablespoons Japanese soy sauce

    1/2 tablespoon sugar

    3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

    2 fennel bulbs, shaved, fronds reserved for garnish

    1 pound blanched somen noodles

    1/2 cup sliced scallions

    In a salmon poacher or large sauce pot, mix the sake, celery, carrot, onion, sugar, bay leaves,

    peppercorns, soy sauce and water to cover. Add the seasoned salmon and slowly bring the liquid to a

    simmer. Simmer for 3 minutes then turn off the heat. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes depending on

    doneness desired. I prefer medium rare (5 minutes). In a blender, add ponzu, shallots, 1/2 tablespoon

    togarashi, soy and sugar. Blend on high speed and drizzle in the oil. Season with salt and pepper. In a

    large bowl, mix together fennel, somen and scallions and toss with enough vinaigrette to coat the salad.

    There will be some left over for plating. Check for seasoning.

    Plating On a large plate, place a mound of the salad and top with hot salmon. Drizzle on a little of the

    vinaigrette and garnish with remaining togarashi and fennel fronds. Yield: 2 to 4 servings Drink
