Vegan Shanghai Noodles

Here I present my super-simple Vegan Shanghai Noodles recipe! Read on to learn how you can make this at home too 🙂

The Inspiration

I don’t know about you but I’m having a really hard time reconciling eating in a restaurant with the prices as high as they are. It breaks my heart for the restaurant owners and staff. The prices have gone through the roof and these poor souls have bills to pay.

So the prices go up.

Mike and I were never really THAT much into restaurants anyway, I’m a total homebody and having two little kids brings its own restaurant challenges. For instance, as soon as the overly-priced food shows up is the precise time one or both children need to poop.

So We Stay home

It was Father’s Day and we weren’t digging a restaurant excursion so we did the next best thing.

We ordered Take-Out!

Chinese Take-out.

We got our usual order but I also tried a dish of, you guessed it; Shanghai Noodles. Totally gooey and infused with curry but to be totally honest, I found it super greasy because of all the meat.

It hit me like a ton of bricks

Vegan Shanghai Noodles.

This is how you make it:

Place a large pot of water to boil then cook the pasta according to package Directions – don’t forget to add salt to the pasta water.

Whisk together the 1/4 cup oil, rice vinegar, curry powder, garlic powder, the 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper; I use a measuring cup. Once whisked, set aside.

Place a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat and add the 1 tbsp of oil, once hot – it will ripple, add in the celery, onion and both pepper.

Season with salt and pepper.

Sauté for a few minutes then add in the peas.

Again, season lightly with salt and pepper.

The pasta should be cooked by now so drain it and add the pasta to the frying pan with the veggies.

Give the vinaigrette another quick mix then pour it on top of the pasta.

Mix well.

You can serve this immediately or you can serve it warm!

Ingredients used in this recipe:

Great Value Canola Oil

Seasoned Rice Vinegar

Catelli Classic, Spaghettini Pasta

What I served with my Vegan Shanghai Noodles:

Meat!

Mike will NOT do vegan without a side of steak!

my son also had steak and of course my daughter had…

because she doesn’t like beef!

I had…

because I love fish but no one else in my family will eat it 🤷‍♀️
