I have to admit I'm a Asian food addict, I really love it! There are two recipes I prepare every week, this super easy vegan fried rice and these vegan stir fried Udon noodles.
This recipe is ready in only 15 minutes, it's light, healthy, delectable and you're gonna love it, I promise! Udon noodles are made with wheat flour and salt and tamari (or soy sauce) is very salty, so you don't need to add any salt.
You can use your favorite veggies, I usually add the vegetables I have in my fridge. I use ground ginger because it lasts longer than the fresh variety, but if you prefer, you can use fresh ginger too, although you need to keep in mind fresh ginger tends to deliver a more intense flavor, so you need to add less.
If you are a celiac or you are following a gluten-free diet, you can use corn pasta or any other gluten-free alternative. If you're a vegan be careful because many noodles are made with egg.
I cook Asian dishes in a wok, I bought it at Ikea, it's cheap and works very well, so if you love this kind of recipes, I recommend you to buy one. If you don't have a wok, you can use a skillet too, your noodles will be delicious too.
This recipe is perfect for summer because you only need 15 minutes to prepare it and you don't need to use the oven. It's a great alternative to junk or pre-packaged food, because it's a super quick recipe and it's much healthier.
If you prefer a fat-free version, you can remove the oil and cook the veggies with water and tamari or soy sauce. I always cook with extra virgin olive oil and avoid refined oils, they are not healthy at all and it's fairly resistant to the heat, although I prefer to use the least amount of oil on my dishes.
If you love simple, easy, healthy, delicious, Asian recipes, you should try these vegan stir fried Udon noodles, they won't disappoint you!

This looks delicious! Could other vegetables be substituted for the peppers? If so, what would you recommend? And would I use the same amount?
Thanks!

What is the brand of Udon noodle used?
The ones I bought are not vegan.
Iosune says
Hi Joshep! I live in Spain, so I can't help you, but if you can, go to an Asian supermarket, you'll find lots of options there 🙂
Jen Wong says
Hi, I know you prolly did not mean to be ignorant but Udon is a Japanese dish. Please do change how you wrote the post. Chinese and Japanese are two entirely different cultures.
Iosune says
Hi Jen! Thanks a lot for your comment 🙂 It was a mistake, sorry!
