《 Tips 》
The use of Apple Vinegar and Yuzu & Honey in the sauce gives it a refreshing aftertaste. After rehydrating the salmon, be careful not to touch it too much. To prevent the salmon from falling apart, you can take it out after mixing it with the seasonings and thicken it before rehydrating it.
