What’s In This Spicy Sesame and Garlic Noodles Recipe?

• Noodles: You can use rice noodles which are naturally gluten free, or a thick long noodle like fettuccini or linguine ( which you can also use gluten free).  We always keep rice noodles in our pantry for a quick ramen or stir fry.
• Peanut Oil: a great high-heat oil, awesome for quick stir frying noodles or vegetables.
• Sesame Oil:  I love adding sesame oil to almost any Asian-inspired dish.  A great flavor from the toasted sesame seeds in these noodles.
• Soy Sauce or Tamari: Tamari is just a gluten-free version of soy sauce.
• Sriracha: we like to load on the spice! Sriracha is awesome to add into soups and noodle dishes,  we always keep sriracha in our pantry to throw on soups, stir fries, and curries.
• Garlic: you can use fresh garlic
• Bean Sprouts
• Green Onion
• Kale
• Sesame Seeds: I love throwing sesame seeds on top of noodle dishes, ramen, or anything that has sesame oil. These add a little crunch, texture, and flavor… especially if you toast them first.

Make Garlic Noodles Vegan for a Healthy Version

This vegan garlic noodles recipe is a simple way to get extra veggies in your diet. I’m all about making recipes plant-based when I can. Vegan cooking does NOT have to be bland, boring, or flavorless… It’s quite the opposite when done right. By building meals around vegan pantry staples and swapping in a few plant-based ingredients you can make healthier meals for you and your family.

I made a list of my 125 favorite vegan pantry ingredients that we use on a weekly basis, and check out all my vegan recipes here that are on The Herbeevore. These easy and healthy recipes are fantastic meatless and dairy free meals for your table.
