Steps

  1. Soak the rice noodles in hot tap water for 10 minutes until pliable, then drain.
  2. While the noodles soak, make the sauce: whisk the soy sauce, honey, lime juice, cornstarch, red pepper flakes and water in a small bowl.
  3. Pat the salmon dry. Heat half of the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the salmon in one layer, turning gently, about 4 minutes, until it flakes and reaches 145°F (63°C). Transfer the salmon to a plate.
  4. Add the remaining half of the canola oil to the skillet. Stir-fry the asparagus and bok choy stems for 3 minutes.
  5. Add the garlic and ginger and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Add the bok choy leaves and spinach and toss until just wilted, about 1 minute.
  7. Stir the sauce, pour it into the skillet and simmer about 1 minute until glossy and thickened.
  8. Add the drained rice noodles and toss to coat, then gently fold in the salmon to warm through.
  9. Drizzle with the toasted sesame oil and top with the green onion and sesame seeds before serving.
