Indonesian Noodles is a vegan dish that I should have made a lot sooner. I’m always making a stir-fry of some sort but these are slightly more unique in flavor. Of course the vegetables can be replaced with whatever your favorite may be. The sauce comes together quick and depending on what noodles you use, it can definitely be a 30min meal. Like many of my meal suggestions, I think this meal is packed with nutrition and can be considered healthy with minimal processed ingredients.

When I make Indonesian Noodles I almost always use tempeh but tofu or any vegan protein would work well. Sometimes I change the noodles up and use brown rice noodles but in the picture below, I used udon and it turned out great. Leave out the jalapeño if those are too spicy for you or replace it with red bell pepper. The mung bean sprouts add a lot of volume to this dish, if you don’t like these I suggest adding more vegtables then listen below.

Notes

• I’ve used brown rice and udon noodles for this recipe and both are great. If you try something new, let me know!
• Date molasses can be hard to find. I have used regular molasses before and I think it taste great.
• I buy a pre shredded cabbage that also has shredded carrot, if you can find this I highly recommend it.
