Directions

1. 1

   Place the salmon in a shallow glass dish. Combine 3 t. of the soy sauce, the garlic, grated ginger, and 1 T. of the rice wine and pour over the salmon, turning to coat. Cover and marinate for 15 minutes in refrigerator.

2. 2

   Place the vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, the remaining soy sauce, and the remaining rice wine in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar, bring to a boil, and cook until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Set the glaze aside and keep warm.

3. 3

   Fill a large saucepan with 1 inch of salted water and bring to a boil. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place in a steamer basket that fits snugly over the pan. Scatter the scallions and shredded ginger over the salmon. Cover and steam over the boiling water for 4 minutes or until cooked through. Remove and keep warm.

4. 4

   Cook the noodles according to package directions. Just before they are done, add the beans to the boiling water; strain. Serve the salmon over the noodles & beans, drizzled with the glaze.
