Vegan Noodle Recipe
If you’ve ever struggled with getting food on the table on busy weeknights, these chili garlic noodles are guaranteed to become a staple in your household.
In this post, you’ll learn my formula for how to make Asian-inspired vegan noodles in less time than it takes to order takeout.
And these bad boys aren’t just fast; they’re flavorful, too. Spicy, garlicky, tangy and with a mix of chewy, saucy, and crunchy textures, be warned: this recipe is
Hoisin Tofu Noodle Stir Fry
These vegan noodles fuse Chinese cooking techniques and ingredients with Japanese udon noodles in the most inauthentic-but-crazy-delicious way. Better yet, a medley of veggies, herbs, nuts and plant-based protein keeps everything pretty wholesome, too.
One of the reasons I love this recipe is that it’s so customizable. Here are a few common substitutions you can try:
Heat the oil in a small saucepan for several minutes until it reaches 350ºF/175ºC. Pour the hot oil over the garlic-peanut mixture. It should sizzle.
Cold Ginger Noodle Salad With Mint, Edamame & Orange
While the water for the noodles is boiling, chop your garlic and peanuts for the chili oil. And when the oil is heating up on the stove, grab your vegetables and herbs. While the chili oil sauce is resting and the noodles are cooking, slice your vegetables and herbs. You get the point!
Also, fresh or frozen udon noodles cook very quickly—about 2 minutes. If you’re using a different noodle, it might add to the cook time by a few minutes.
Chinese black vinegar is one of the most unique and delicious pantry ingredients and really makes this dish shine. Unlike a standard Western vinegar, it’s fermented and has a complex flavor profile: umami-rich, earthy, sour, and a little sweet.
Vegetarian Singapore Noodles
The most common variety sold in the states is Chinkiang black vinegar (affiliate link) from Southern China, which is made from fermented sticky rice (you might also find it sold as Zhenjiang). Bonus: it’s very affordable (at an Asian grocery store like HMart, it costs about $4), and will stay good in your pantry for a very, very long time.

If you want the noodles to be very spicy, add more chile flakes. If you’re sensitive to spicy food, use half the amount.
Veggie Sesame Noodles Recipe
I love using Sichuan chile flakes for this recipe, as it’s a Chinese inspired recipe and the flavor is wonderful (toasty and nutty), but this recipe also works great with standard red pepper flakes.
This is not a traditional chili oil where the aromatics are cooked in oil on the stove. Instead, it’s a quick and streamlined version where you pour hot oil over the aromatics and allow the hot oil to cook them that way. So, it’s important the oil is hot enough.
I use a thermometer like this to ensure the oil is at 350ºF. If you don’t have one, allow your oil to heat for 3 to 5 minutes (the smaller the saucepan, the less time it needs). Then, add a piece of minced garlic to the oil. If it sizzles immediately, the oil should be hot enough.
Vegan Rice Noodles With Crispy Tofu And Mushrooms
You can find fresh or frozen udon noodles at East Asian grocery stores in the refrigerated or freezer section. They typically come in packets or bundles as shown below.
Add them to a pot of boiling water like this and use a chopstick to loosen them from their bundle. They typically only take 2 minutes to cook. Then drain and rinse under cool water (you can use them hot in other dishes, but this is a cold/room temperature noodle salad).

Vegan Mongolian Beef Noodles
Use it in other noodle dishes or in stir-fries (start slowly, as it’s quite strong in flavor), and usually add it towards the end. It’s also commonly used with equal parts soy sauce as a dipping sauce for dumplings. I also love it in a Chinese smashed cucumber salad, like this one from Lisa of Healthy Nibbles.
When cooking Chinese dishes, you can also use a small amount of black vinegar enhance the flavors in a dish or to balance a dish that’s too spicy, too sweet or too bitter.
That means the oil wasn’t hot enough. Don’t worry, you can fix this. Just transfer the entire mixture—oil and aromatics—to a small frying pan over medium-ish heat. Cook the aromatics in the oil until the garlic just starts to turn golden, then take off the heat.

Vegan Rice Noodle Bowl
There are few things tastier in this world than saucy noodles with veggies, and these garlic sesame noodles are up there with my favorites. Better yet, I’ve made them healthier than ever by using Explore Cuisine Chickpea Spaghetti. This spaghetti is higher in protein and fiber than traditional noodles such as lo mein that you might use with this dish, but I swear you’d have no idea while eating it.
The chickpea noodles cook in 10 minutes, during which time you can whisk up the sauce and stir-fry your veggies. This meal literally comes together in minutes and is made with pantry ingredients plus a few fresh veggies. There are no shortcuts on flavor here, though. After I finished taking some photos of the noodles, we seriously ate the rest of them straight from the pan because we couldn’t wait to put them on a plate, that’s how good they are.
The dish starts by stir-frying fresh bell pepper, carrot, and broccoli, and then adding the cooked Explore Cuisine pasta and tossing everything with an easy sauce made with fresh garlic, toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, and hoisin sauce. If you prefer, serve the finished dish with scallions and more toasted sesame seeds. You won’t be disappointed!

Hey Internet, it… probably hasn’t been that long since I did a pasta dish… but here I am. This seems only right to publish now, because I’ve been making it on repeat.
Seriously, I’ve probably made this about 20 times in the last month. It’s easy and fast for when I’ve been cooking
