    Pan-Fried Vegan Noodles with A Basic Green Salad

    Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

    Pan-fried vegan noodles are so basic and versatile. They are dry, salty, sweet and chewy. The Chinese 5 spice is a game-changer as it adds an ethnic vibe.

    Usually at my house, dinner is a giant bowl of chopped greens, dressing, and some kind of starch or grain. The red leaf lettuce is my favorite right now; it's so delicate, bitter but subtle, crunchy, light, and is perfect with a dressing of any kind. My kids LOVE red leaf lettuce; they would eat an entire bowl full without even one complaint. 

    How to Assemble A Basic Green Salad

    The greens look something like this image. I usually add a dash of lemon and some vegan mayo. Then I add garbanzo beans (uncooked) which add a little extra protein, vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants, nitrates, etc. The basic salad is filling and has high water content. No frying, no baking, no sauteeing. It's so easy and simple, right?

    The starches I typically add to my greens are usually one of the following:

    sweet potatoes

    roasted baby potatoes

    noodles with my no cook magical marinara

    white rice or brown rice

    quinoa

    This combo is really easy to digest, quick, and easy to make on a school night and my kids love it as well, so that's a win. Add some seeds and beans of any kind or some beyond meat or mock meat of your choice (optional).  

    This particular Saturday night though I wanted something different. So I boiled ramen noodles, as usual, but this time I sautéed them up in a hot pan with sweet, salty, and spicy ingredients like garlic, [vegan] butter, chili paste, and tamari. It was to-die-for!

    Add these pan-fried noodles with a simple chopped red leaf lettuce salad and you've got a bomb-ass healthy vegan dinner for the whole family! I made it twice just to be sure I wasn't crazy and that this was in fact so tasty. So you can trust me on this one. My kids loved them and agreed they are to-die-for. 

    Pan-Fried Vegan Noodles Ingredients

  • Lotus foods millet rice noodles (do not use regular spaghetti noodles - see below) or ramen noodles of choice1 ½ - 2 teaspoon
  • vegan butter (I used Miyokos Butter - they have it at Trader Joes!!)
  • raw garlic cloves
  • chopped white onion
  • tamari or soy sauce
  • Spike seasoning
  • onion powder
  • Chinese Style Five Spice
  • Sweet Chili Sauce (or sub agave nectar or sugar)
  • Chili Garlic Sauce
  • toasted sesame seeds and/or fresh chopped herb
  • Instructions

    The list of steps and ingredients looks long, but it really only takes 10 minutes to make this entire dinner. It might take a few extra minutes the first time you make it, once you get the hang of it, it takes no time at all.

    First, you want to soak noodles in boiling water. Once they are soft, you'll add them to the hot skillet or wok full of butter, garlic, and onions. Toss. Add tamari and all the spices and toss again. Keep tossing until noodles are really dry and cooked. Garnish with your toasted sesame seeds and herbs.

    Recipe Variations and Notes

    As I always say, have fun and add your own spices or herbs or ingredients. You might like your noodles sweeter or saltier or spicier. So personalize it how you'd like by adjusting spices and sweetners.

    Add tofu to this dish if you'd like or veggies like spinach, water chestnut, or bean sprouts. I added a simple green salad but the options are endless. Garnish with green onion or chili flakes. Note: do not use regular spaghetti noodles. You must use the chow mein style ramen noodle. Or pad thai style. They are totally different in texture and will yield much better results.

    I love these simple pan-fried vegan noodles with chinese five spice. They are salty but sweet and the spices are incredible. Add a green salad for nutrition.

Passion fruit water is yet another youth serum. As passion fruit is full of vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and folate. These help your kidneys, nerves, muscles, and heart rhythm in big ways.
Your body uses Vitamins C to make blood vessels, cartilage, muscles, and collagen, which keeps skin looking young. It also helps your body heal, lowers inflammation, and protects your cells from damage. When you get enough vitamin C, it lowers your chances of getting colds and certain types of cancers. Vit A is great for eyes, immunity, and cells.
Note: did you know Passion Fruit is actually a berry? The biggest berry you’ll find.

    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not rea
    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not ready for change. And that’s perfectly ok. 
Making healthy choices isn’t hard work. You “have time” to choose an apple over a bag of chips. Let’s be real here; you just DON’T WANT TO.  And that alone is totally ok!!
Let’s not shame others choices or pressure another to change. If somebody is not happy where they’re at, or they are sick, or in pain, only then will they start examining their current routines and habits. Anger is a great catalysts for change. It often pushes people out if their comfort zones and into action. 
I often hear “I don’t have time to be healthy”. But what that really means is I don’t want to change or I’m afraid of change. And I’m not ready. Change is what they’re nervous about - not the amount of time it takes to chop up vegetables. 
Be kind to yourself…but be honest. 
Notice what you say you desire (weightloss or more energy) and then really examine your habits. Do you make the choices a “thin” person makes? Do you make the choices a rested high energy person needs to make? This might seem obvious but it’s actually not…so often we overlook this gap. We don’t see it and then we get mad at ourselves. Punish ourselves for “failing” over and over again. 
Once you start paying attention to your actions and habits and line them up with your goals - that’s when the magic happens. 
Yay or nay?
