    Substitutions

    Here's some of the most popular substitutions and additions for this recipe:

    • Noodles: I use udon noodles but you could also use ramen, lo mein, or even spaghetti or fettuccini noodles. Use rice noodles as a gluten-free option.  
    • Soy sauce: substitute coconut aminos or tamari sauce as gluten-free options
    • Pure maple syrup: swap this out for honey (or your preferred sweetener)
    • Sesame oil: sesame oil adds the best flavor; but avocado oil can also be used
    • Rice vinegar: substitute fresh lime juice if preferred
    • Sriracha: add 1 tablespoon (or more) Sriracha to your sauce for some added spice

    Variations

    One of the most popular variations of this recipe is to add vegetables (like carrots, broccoli, snap peas, green onions or red pepper).

    How to Add Vegetables

    To make your noodles with vegetables, add about 3 cups of vegetables and ½ cup of water to your pot before making the sauce. Cover and cook over high heat for 4 - 5 minutes, until tender. Set aside the vegetables and stir them into your your sauce with the noodles.

    Note: You may need to add more sauce or less noodles to account for the 3 cups of added vegetables. Double the sauce to ensure you have enough or use 10 - 12 ounces of noodles.

      Obsessed with these! Made them for dinner last night and there was enough for leftovers today. Could you also use rice noodles?
