🍜What you will need
📃Notes / substitutions
- Soba noodles - You can swap it with other kinds of dried noodles like ramen, udon or rice noodles. Spaghetti will work too!
- Teriyaki sauce - For a quicker version, feel free to use store-bought teriyaki sauce. But definitely make your own if you have some extra time on hand! It is totally worth making the extra effort.
- Gluten-free - Make sure to use soba that are made from 100 percent buckwheat. Some brands use a blend of buckwheat and wheat flour, hence do check the ingredient label before purchasing.
- Oil-free - You can use ¼ cup of water or broth to saute in place of oil. Highly recommended using a good non-stick pan or wok.
🔪How to make
Heat up a tablespoon of oil in a cast iron skillet or non-stick pan. Once heated, add in garlic and ginger. Saute for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Next, add in bell pepper and carrot. Cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
Then, add in mushrooms and cook until all veggies are tender.
Lastly, stir in noodles and edamame together with teriyaki sauce. Give it a taste and add more sauce, if needed. Serve an enjoy your vegan teriyaki noodles while warm!
✔Helpful tips
- Slightly undercook your noodles - This will prevent them from turning mushy and sticky when stir-frying. For me, I will cook them a minute or two less than the suggested cooking time on the package.
- Rinse noodles under cold water after cooking - This especially holds true for soba, as it tends to clump together more easily. Rinsing will remove excess starch that cause noodles to stick together, and also stop them from cooking further.
- Prep ingredients ahead of time and keep them around - Stir-frying is a fairly quick process, and requires constant stirring.
- Use a large enough pan - This will help prevent ingredients from leaping out from pan during cooking.
🌶Variations/add-ins
- Add in a plant based protein to make teriyaki soba noodles heartier. I love adding some chopped seitan chicken, tempeh, tofu or veggie ground.
- For a lower carb version, switch up part of or all of the noodles with zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash instead.
- Feel free to change up the veggies used to whatever you have on hand, or veggies that are in season. Cabbage, mushrooms and snap peas will all work well in this vegan teriyaki noodles.
- If you like yours to be spicy, throw in some chili flakes or drizzle on some hot sauce before serving.
- Garnish with toasted sesame seeds or chopped peanuts for some extra texture and flavor!
