Notes
- Use salmon or related fish like trout, char, whitefish, sablefish, jacks, or small tuna for the salmon pieces.
- Choose good-quality soba noodles and real Japanese miso for best flavor, with red miso offering a stronger taste and white a milder one.
- Adjust miso quantity to taste; the provided amounts are guidelines rather than strict measurements.
- Green onion substitutes such as scallions, chives, chrysanthemum leaves, or shiso offer variety in flavor and garnish.
- Homemade salmon stock enhances depth, but dashi can be used as an alternative base.
