COOK’s NOTE(S):

• If you want to double this recipe, DO NOT double the ingredients, for the bulk will be too much to work with. Rather, make the dish twice. If you plan to make this for company, cook noodles ahead of time and add bean sprouts and garlic chives when you heat it up. If it is an informal gathering, it is fun to let your guests cook their own noodles. (SOURCE: FoodNetwork.com)
• Tamarind Juice Substitute = 3 TBSPs of tamarind pulp/paste (OR 10 long pieces of dried tamarind, peeled) + 1 cup of warm water. Soak tamarind in warm water for 10-20 minutes. Squeeze/Strain out the pulp and discard; the remaining liquid is tamarind juice. (SOURCE: FoodNetwork.com and experience)
• Palm Sugar Substitute = 1 cup dark brown sugar + 2 tsps molasses. (SOURCE: Cook's Thesaurus)

COOK's NOTE(S):

• The 10-minute marination is enough. Overnight marination of the fish will let it absorb too much of the soy sauce, therefore, making it too salty.
• Although grilling is the best way to cook this salmon recipe, it may be baked too for about 5 to 10 mins at about 300F. When baking, check the salmon once in a while until it is thoroughly cooked to the center but not overcooked.
