2 (850g) sweet potato, peeled, halved lengthways
1 tablespoon sunflower oil
1/3 cup (80ml) soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
270g packet soba noodles
1 bunch asparagus, woody ends trimmed, cut into 3cm pieces
2 x 170g hot-smoked salmon fillets, flaked
5 spring onions, shredded
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

Method

1.

Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with baking paper. Brush sweet potato with oil and bake for 1 hour or until tender but firm enough to slice. Cut into 2cm cubes. Set aside.
2.

Whisk soy, rice vinegar and honey in a bowl to combine.
3.

Cook the noodles in a pan of boiling, salted water according to the packet instructions, adding the asparagus for the final 2 minutes. Drain well.
4.

To serve, toss the noodles and asparagus in a large bowl with sweet potato, salmon, dressing and most of the spring onion. Divide among serving bowls, then serve scattered with sesame seeds and remaining spring onion.
