Ingredients

  • 300g/10.5 oz (approx.) stir fry vegetables of your choice
  • 150g/5 oz (approx.) ‘straight to wok’ ribbon noodles (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 2 handfuls of marinated tofu, deep-fried tofu puffs or tempeh pieces
  • 1 handful of peanuts, roughly chopped
  • 1-2 tbsp peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (use tamari if gluten-free)
  • 3 tbsp sweet chilli sauce (or use 2 tbsp syrup mixed with 1 tsp chilli powder)
  • Juice of ½ a lime

Optional toppings: chilli flakes, fresh chilli, fresh coriander, toasted or roasted peanuts or cashews, Thai basil

High protein toppings: bean sprouts, edamame beans, mixed seeds (eg pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, hemp), nutritional yeast, sprouted grains (eg alfalfa sprouts), toasted or roasted nuts, vegan high-protein yoghurt (eg Alpro Greek Style Plain)

Instructions

  1. Heat a little oil in a wok or large frying pan and empty the stir fry veg into the pan.
  2. Fry for a few minutes before adding all of the other ingredients.
  3. Stir frequently for a few minutes to ensure that the noodles are cooked and the peanut butter has softened and is evenly distributed.
  4. Serve immediately.

Serving suggestions: cucumber salad, lime wedges, pan-fried broccoli, vegan chicken satay, vegan Thai crackers, vegetable spring rolls (most are vegan but check the packet)

Did you know that the Vegan Recipe Club is run by Viva!, and that we are a charity?

We create vital resources to help educate everyone – vegan veterans, novices and the v-curious alike – about vegan food, health and nutrition; as well as the plight of farmed animals and the devastating environmental impact of farming.

Through this work we have helped thousands of people discover veganism; but we want to reach millions more! We rely entirely on donations as we don’t get any government funding. If you already support us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, you are really making a difference! Please share our details with your friends and loved ones too, as every donation enables us to keep fighting for change.
