Teriyaki Noodles (Vegan!)
Description
This vegan Teriyaki Noodles recipe starts with cooking ramen noodles to firm, al dente texture, then quickly stir-frying broccoli florets, sliced shiitake mushrooms, and carrots until crisp-tender. Green onions are added near the end to preserve freshness and aroma. The prepared teriyaki sauce coats the noodles and vegetables, creating a shiny, flavorful dish highlighting sweet and savory notes of the sauce against the mild bite of noodles and fresh vegetables.
The dish can be customized with toppings like sesame seeds, mung bean sprouts, cilantro, nuts, or spicy sriracha, allowing for texture and flavor variation. It works well as a main course or a substantial side dish.
Vegetables can be varied depending on availability or preference, including options like asparagus, snow peas, bell peppers, or leafy greens. Using vegetable broth or water for sautéing keeps the recipe oil-free. Noodle type can also be swapped for gluten-free or alternative Asian-style noodles.
Ingredients
- 8 oz. ramen noodles
- 6 oz. broccoli about 3 cups or 1 medium head, fresh florets
- 5 oz. shiitake mushrooms
- 1 carrot large
- 4 green onions
- 1 batch teriyaki sauce (about 1 cup)
Toppings (optional):
- sesame seeds fresh, etc
- mung bean sprouts
- cilantro
- peanuts
- cashews
- sriracha
Instructions
- Make the teriyaki sauce (or prepare this ahead of time).
- Cook your noodles according to package directions, leaving al dente (slightly firm, not mushy). Drain and rinse with cold water when finished.
- Meanwhile, cut broccoli into small florets. Slice mushrooms and carrot.
- In a large pan over medium-high heat, add broccoli, mushrooms, and carrot. Cover and sauté for 6-7 minutes or until crisp-tender. (I use 3 Tbsp. broth/water for no-oil sauté method, adding more as needed.)
- Meanwhile, slice green onions.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add green onions, stir, and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add teriyaki sauce and cooked noodles to pan. Gently toss to combine and heat for 1-2 minutes until warmed through. Serve with any desired toppings.
Notes
- Use gluten-free noodles like organic millet and brown rice ramen for dietary preferences.
- Vegetable choices are flexible; asparagus, snow peas, bell peppers, and greens work well.
- For oil-free cooking, sauté vegetables with broth or water, adding as needed.
