Slurpable rice noodles are stir-fried with vegetables, dressed with delicious hoisin sauce, and served with a sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds to make these easy and flavorful vegan hoisin noodles.
I always keep a jar of hoisin sauce in the fridge. It is one of those amazing and versatile spices that can take food over the top in terms of flavor. That’s why I’ve included it in so many of my favorite recipes, from General Tofu to Vegan Pho and this delicious eggplant stir-fry.
These hoisin noodles are one of the star ingredients in my favorite hoisin sauce, so they’re loaded with flavor! Their dish is also packed with vibrant vegetables and other flavorful spices like garlic, ginger and Chinese 5 spice. It’s super comfortable and super easy to whip up.
This recipe is also highly adaptable. You can replace rice noodles with ramen, soba or even spaghetti. I was full of veggies when I made the recipe, so I picked a nice colorful assortment of broccoli, red bell peppers, and carrots, but feel free to use whatever you like. Want to add some protein? Add fried tofu or seitan. You can’t go wrong, so play with it and enjoy.
Ingredients you will need
- Rice noodles. I used pad thai noodles, which are of medium thickness, but you can use thicker or thinner noodles if you prefer.
- Fried. Look for it in the international food aisle of your supermarket.
- Water.
- Nut butter. Use natural (cold) peanut butter if you can, and definitely avoid using one with added sugar, which can completely throw off the flavor of your sauce.
- I am Willow Need to keep this recipe gluten-free? Substitute gluten-free tamari or liquid aminos.
- Sesame oil toasting. You can also find it in the international food aisle.
- Sambal Wellek. This will add heat to the dish, so skip if that’s not your thing. Sambal Wellek is available in the international section of most supermarkets, but sriracha is an excellent substitute if you can’t find it.
- Cornstarch.
- Chinese 5 Spices.
- Peanut oil. Feel free to swap it out with any high-heat oil you have on hand, such as corn oil, canola oil, or coconut oil.
- Broccoli.
- Red pepper bells.
- the carrot
- garlic
- ginger
- Scallions
- Fresh mint. Thai basil or holy basil will work really well if you can get your hands on them, but Italian basil works just fine if you can’t.
- Sesame toast. Chopped peanuts or cashews also work really well.
How are they made?
Below is a detailed photo tutorial on how to make this dish. If you want to skip the recipe, scroll all the way down!
Start with all your prep work: cook the noodles, chop the vegetables, and whisk together the sauce. You’ll need everything to get ready before you start stir-frying.
Oil a wok or wok and place over medium-high heat. Add your broccoli and stir-fry until they deepen in color.
Now add bell pepper and carrot. Keep stirring until all the vegetables are soft-crisp. This should only take a minute or so.
Suggestion: You can substitute stir-fry vegetables of your choice for the dish mentioned in the recipe, but you may need to adjust the cooking time. Harder vegetables take longer to cook, while softer vegetables cook faster.
Push all the vegetables to the side to make some room for your aromatics. Add the garlic, ginger and your scallion whites. Cook everything briefly and be very careful, as they can burn quickly on a hot cooking surface.
Add noodles and sauce, being very careful to avoid. Adding the noodles first and pouring the sauce over them is a good way to prevent this.
Stir-fry the noodles and vegetables together for a minute or two, until the noodles are heated through and the sauce thickens slightly.
Stir in the basil and immediately remove the wok or skillet from the heat.
Top your hoisin noodles with toasted sesame seeds and the green parts of your scallions. They are ready to enjoy!
Remaining and storage
Leftovers from this meal will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3 days. The sauce will likely thicken during storage. Add a drop of water while reheating if necessary.
