    Vegan Garlic Noodles

    Vegan garlic noodles only take 15 minutes to make and are perfect for a busy weeknight when you need dinner on the table fast!

    Coming at you with an easy, tasty, fast, and inexpensive pasta dish that curbs your craving for Asian takeout! These easy garlic noodles are flavor central! If you’re not a huge fan of garlic, you can adapt this recipe and use a bit less garlic and add some shallots instead. It will still be delicious with that sweet and salty sauce and those mushrooms.

    If you really love garlic, you can even use a bit more. But maybe not on date night.

    I made this vegan garlic pasta dish using thin spaghetti but you can use whatever you want. Pad Thai noodles, Angel hair pasta or ramen noodles. To allow for the garlic sauce to really shine, it should be a thin long noodle that we can really toss and swirl around in that sweet and salty goodness.

    The overall freshness of this recipe is brought by the chopped green onions. While green onions are often for garnish only, they are really essential to the flavor of this dish so don’t skip it.

    Ingredients

    • 8 ounces (226.8 g) thin spaghetti

    For the sauce:

    • 1 tablespoon vegan butter or oil
    • 4-5 cloves garlic minced
    • 1/8 teaspoon turmeric
    • 1/4 teaspoon pepper flakes
    • 1 cup (96 g) thinly sliced or chopped mushroom
    • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
    • 1 teaspoon vegan Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 teaspoon vegan oyster sauce
    • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
    • 1/4-1/3 cup water, broth or pasta water
    • 2 green onions chopped reserve green parts for garnish
    • 3 tablespoons vegan parmesan plus more for garnish

    Instructions

    • Cook your spaghetti according to the instructions on the package. Boil a large pot of water and once boiling, add a good helping of salt and add the spaghetti and cook until al dente. (Add 1/2 tsp baking soda to the boiling water for a lighter noodle texture!)
    • Meanwhile, to make the sauce, heat the butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once starting to get hot, add in your garlic and cook until the garlic is starting to get golden on some edges. Stir frequently to avoid burning.
    • Then add in the turmeric and pepper flakes and mix in. Then add in soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and mushrooms and mix well.
    • Cook for 2 minutes and add in the sesame oil, green onions, and vegan parmesan and mix in.
    • Add in a 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup of the pasta water and mix in. Then mix your pasta and toss well to coat. Then take off of heat.
    • Taste and adjust salt and flavor then plate. Add some more vegan parmesan on top and some green onions and serve immediately.

    Notes

    • Gluten-free: Use glutenfree pasta and tamari for glutenfree vegan garlic pasta 
    • Soyfree:  use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. Add (chickpea) miso for additional umami

    Ingredients:

    • Pasta: I went with thin spaghetti but I guess you could play around with different types of pasta
    • lots of garlic fried in vegan butter or oil is essential
    • turmeric adds a nice golden color and pepper flakes add some heat
    • chopped mushrooms up the umami – you can use cremini, button mushrooms, Baby Bella, porcini or shiitake
    • a simple sauce made from soy sauce, vegan Worcestershire sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil gives these noodles the sweet and salty kick we love
    • green onions add some freshness. I recommend separating the white parts from the green parts, which are more delicate and are added as a garnish
    • vegan parmesan – some for the sauce and some more for garnish

    Tips:

    • Use glutenfree pasta and tamari for Glutenfree
    • for soy-free, you could use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce
    • vegan oyster sauce is made from mushrooms and can be a bit hard to find. If you can’t find any, make your own

    ingredients for vegan garlic noodles

    How to make Vegan Garlic Noodles:

    garlic being fried in a pan

    Cook your spaghetti according to instructions on the package. Boil a large pot of water and once boiling, add a good helping of salt and add the spaghetti and cook until al dente. Reserve pasta water

    Meanwhile, to make the sauce, heat the butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once starting to get hot, add in your garlic and cook until the garlic is starting to get golden on some edges.

    garlic, mushrooms scallions and vegan parmesan cheese in a pan

    Add in a 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup of the pasta water and mix in. Then mix your pasta and toss well to coat. Then take off of the heat.

    Taste and adjust salt and flavor then plate. Add some more vegan parmesan on top and some green onions and serve

    I recommend you serve the pasta right away, stove to table, so to speak.

    Storing leftover pasta:

    You can store leftover pasta in an airtight container in the fridge for about 2 days. Reheat on the stove in a saucepan. You might want to add some water and maybe a few dashes of soy sauce while reheating on medium-low heat.

      Really good! Doubled the mushrooms and garlic and added some extra brown sugar for some extra sweetness.

        It’s a main dish that makes enough for 2 dinner portions about 4 to 5oz each

      Excellent! I am wondering where the 13g of protein come from? Thank you for the tasty recipe. (I skipped all of the oil)

        It’s coming from pasta. Default wheat or semolina pasta has protein
