Asian Mushroom Noodles Stir Fry
This quick and easy plant-based meal cooked in a delicious Korean stir-fry sauce features Asian mushrooms, carrots, bok choy, and rice noodles. Ready in 25 minutes.
I’ve been digging homemade spicy Korean sauce a lot. It’s a fantastic marinade for beef and a game-changer as a dipping sauce or dressing. It’s also a great stir-fry sauce! You’ll see what I mean in this Asian mushroom noodles stir-fry recipe.
The Korean Stir-Fry Sauce
First and foremost, the stir-fry sauce. We’ve made it before for these no-cook Korean beef lettuce wraps. Feel free to make the sauce exactly as it is for the stir-fry. Here’s what you need for a simpler, gluten-free, and vegan version.
- Tamari provides a profound umami depth as the gluten-free savory base. Tamari offers a gluten-free alternative.
- Gochujang Korean Chili Paste is the key ingredient for the distinctive Korean kick, bringing complexity with sweet, spicy, and slightly smoky notes.
- Rice Vinegar adds acidity to balance sweetness and richness, cutting through the meaty flavors.
- Sesame Oil infuses a nutty aroma and flavor quintessential to Korean cuisine.
- Maple syrup works with tamari and gochujang to create a balanced profile, offering natural sweetness.
Asian Mushrooms
You can use many types of Asian mushrooms for this recipe. I used king oyster and shiitake mushrooms, but enoki and straw mushrooms would also work great.
The Noodles Stir Fry
Other ingredients added to this easy vegan meal are carrots, bok choy, green onions, and cooked rice noodles. The stir-fry sauce brings everything together. It’s super simple and yummy. I hope you enjoy this recipe.
