Total Cook Time: 25 minutes | Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
227 g (8 oz) noodles (e.g., linguine or rice noodles)
1 Tbsp (sesame) oil
½ heaped Tbsp fresh ginger, grated
3–4 garlic cloves, minced
200 g (7.1 oz) fresh mushrooms, chopped or 25 g (0.9 oz) dried (rehydrated in water)
1 large carrot, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 medium zucchini, sliced
¾ tsp onion powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
Green onion to garnish
Sesame seeds to garnish
SAUCE
2/3 cup (160 ml/5.6 oz) vegetable broth or water
3–4 Tbsp tamari, GF soy sauce, or coconut aminos
2 Tbsp rice vinegar
2 Tbsp maple syrup (or more to taste)
1 Tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot flour
1 pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
DIRECTIONS
First, cook the noodles in a pot filled with salted water until al dente (do not overcook them).
Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet or wok and sauté the ginger and garlic over medium heat for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the mushrooms, carrot, bell pepper, zucchini, and spices. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the veggies have softened, stirring frequently. You can add a splash of water or veggie broth to avoid burning/sticking.
To make the sauce, add all the sauce ingredients (vegetable broth, tamari, rice vinegar, maple syrup, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes) to a medium bowl and whisk well (or to a lidded jar and shake).
Pour the sauce into the skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 1 minute until it thickens.
Add the drained noodles and toss to combine. Cook for a further 1–2 minutes, taste it, and adjust any of the seasonings (salt, pepper, tamari, sweetener, etc.) if needed. If you like it creamier, add a few spoonfuls of peanut butter or sunflower seed butter!
Garnish with green onions (scallions) and sesame seeds, serve, and enjoy! Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
