Rinse the kelp noodles in warm water for about 10 minutes. This will soften and separate them. Drain the noodles and, using kitchen scissors, cut them into small pieces. Mix the kelp noodles with the tamari and sesame oil. Stir in the toasted cashews. Preheat the oven t o 180°C. Whisk the miso paste, ginger, coconut milk, tamari, spring onions and lime together to make the marinade and season to taste. Place the salmon fillets in a deep ovenproof dish and pour the marinade into the dish. Cover with foil. Leave to marinade for a minimum of 2 hours (or overnight). Place in the oven for 12–15 minutes, until cooked. Once cool, slice into flakes. Place a lidded wok over a medium heat and add the oils. Once melted, add the garlic and chilli and lower the heat. Leave to sauté for 2–3 minutes. Add the pak choi/bok choy and toss until coated with the garlic and chilli mixture. Cover with the lid and leave to cook for 5 minutes. Take the wok off the heat. Pour over the tamari and toss well. Cook the edamame beans as instructed on the packet. Add all the dip ingredient­s into a blender and blitz until smooth. Season to taste.
