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! What brand of udon noodles do you use?
Thank you!
Iosune says
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!
Katie says
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!!
Iosune says
Hi Katie! I'm sooo glad to hear that 🙂 Hope you enjoyed it. Thanks a lot for your comment 😀
Me says
What brand of Udon noodles is vegan? Some noodles use eggs to make.
Iosune says
Hi! I used a Spanish brand I found on the supermarket, but you should find vegan brands in health or Asian stores 🙂
Eluna says
Looks like a good recipe but I don't know if this should be under Chinese since Udon is a Japanese noodle...

Just made this and it's a hit. I used 1 tablespoon of ginger instead of a teaspoon because I like the aroma. Thanks for sharing!
