For me, comfort food usually involves something warm, spicy and full of carbs. This vegan stir fry recipe definitely ticks those boxes.

And assuming I'm the one doing the cooking, which is nearly always the case, then it needs to be quick and simple. That box is ticked too.

Vegan Spicy Peanut Noodle Stir Fry

Yield: 4

A quick, easy and super delicious dish that can be served hot for supper or cold for tomorrow's packed lunch.

Ingredients

250 g wholewheat noodles, or gluten-free soba noodles
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
200 g Tenderstem broccoli
250 g chestnut mushrooms
1 medium red bell pepper
2 spring onions
(Optional) A bunch of fresh coriander

For the spicy peanut sauce

6 tbsp soy sauce, or gluten-free tamari sauce
8 tbsp peanut butter
1 ½ tbsp Sriracha sauce
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil

Instructions

Make the noodles

Cook the noodles according to the package's instructions. Once cooked, drain and plunge into a pan of cold water.

Cook the veg

Heat the sesame oil in a large frying pan or wok and cook the vegetables for 6-8 minutes.

Make the sauce

Stir all the ingredients together. If it's too thick, stir in some hot water until it becomes a thick but smooth sauce.
Stir half the sauce into the noodles and half into the veg, then mix everything together.
Serve hot or cold (makes an amazing packed lunch served cold the next day!) To warm up, return to the frying pan and cook on a high heat for a couple of minutes until warmed through.
