Lately I've been loving making takeout inspired recipes at home. It's fun getting in the kitchen and trying new flavors like this Mongolian inspired noodle recipe.
This Vegan inspired Mongolian noodle dish is one of our current favorites.
what's in the sauce
Soy Sauce- the soy sauce is going to create a salty, savory sauce. Be sure to use low sodium sauce so it's not too salty.
Hoisin Sauce- this Asian barbecue sauce adds a nice sweet element to the sauce.
Broth- I like use use Better than Bouillon 'no beef' broth.
Red Pepper Flakes- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Brown Sugar- to add a little sweetness to the sauce, I like to use brown sugar. You can add less sugar or more for a sweeter sauce.
Cornstarch- To thicken the sauce, cornstarch mixed with water is added at the end.
This noodle recipe is definitely not authentic. I just really like the flavor combination of the sauce.
how to make Mongolian Beef Vegan
To start the recipe, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions.
I like to use spaghetti, but you could also use fettuccini or angel hair pasta.
While the pasta is cooking, cook the plant-based meat. Then add the ginger and garlic. These aromatics add a depth of flavor to the dish.
For the sauce, whisk all the sauce ingredients together.
Pour the sauce into the pan and add the noodles when they are done cooking.
Garnish with sliced green onions.
substitution ideas:
Ground plant-based meat- If you don't want to use Impossible meat, any sort of meatless crumble will work.
Brown sugar- you could use coconut sugar in place of the brown sugar.
Soy sauce- Tamari is a great substitute for soy sauce. Coconut aminos would also be great.
Cornstarch- Arrowroot is my favorite substitue for cornstarch.
Can Vegan Mongolian Beef with noodles be made ahead of time?
Yes! After you are done cooking the recipe, let it cool down. Then store the vegan beef and noodles. Reheat the noodles and enjoy within 3 days.
These Vegan Mongolian Noodles are packed full of flavor from the vegan Mongolian beef sauce.
