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!

Hi Ingrid! I’m gald you liked it 😀
Looks like a good recipe but I don’t know if this should be under Chinese since Udon is a Japanese noodle…
Hi Eluna! You’re right! Thanks a lot for your comment 🙂
I just finished making this, and it is DELICIOUS! I sauteed some tofu in sesame oil in a cast iron skillet to add in, and I love that it’s such a simple dish to add onto with personal preferences. I can’t wait for dinner, my 18 month old LOVES any excuse to try out chopsticks, we’re going to have a happy baby and happy bellies tonight! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!!

What brand of Udon noodles is vegan? Some noodles use eggs to make.
Hi! I used a Spanish brand I found on the supermarket, but you should find vegan brands in health or Asian stores 🙂
Hi! What brand of udon noodles do you use?
Thank you!
Hi Ellie! I usually buy noodles at Asian supermarkets, I’ve tried so many brands and all of them are great 🙂 In addition, I live in Europe, so I don’t know if I can help you… Sorry!
I cooked this tonight with a few modifications, I added some marinated tofu, mushrooms, broccoli, some rice vinegar, teriyaki sauce and sriracha. It was delicious! Just found this blog too and I am definitely a fan. Thanks for providing beautiful simple recipe ideas for us vegans!

Hi Lucie! Thanks a lot 🙂 I’m so glad you liked them!
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.
Hi Jen! Thanks a lot for your comment 🙂 It was a mistake, sorry!
What is the brand of Udon noodle used?
The ones I bought are not vegan.
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 🙂
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!
Hi Adriana! Thanks a lot 🙂 This recipe always works, so feel free to add any veggies you want. I’d add the same amount. Have a nice day!

Hi Charn! So glad you liked it so much 🙂
Last few skint days of the month……so I made this with frozen peppers and peas, and my last mushroom and half a carrot plus garlic and onion (just for me). Cooked as your recipe with tamari and dried ginger and the wholewheat noodles waiting in the cupboard. Really very tasty and delicious and it genuinely takes no time at all. Gorgeous food from basically my scraps. Tomorrow it’s stir fried rice. Yum. Thank you!
