Silky Sweet Potato noodles tossed in a sesame dressing

with Broccolli, carrots and mushrooms

VEGAN, VEGETARIAN, GLUTEN-FREE, NUT-FREE

Recently, I saw a vegan Instagram buddy of mine post a gorgeous video of sweet potato noodles. The noodles were flat, glassy, and almost transparent. The video showed the noodles oozing with goodness and slipping between chopsticks. I was drooling all over just watching the video, so I decided to go looking for these beautiful noodles.  

At first I was debating if this dish deemed a full post. Eventually, though, the final output looked so pretty and inviting, warranting a complete write-up. I also want to encourage folks to try variety of noodles and not stick to usual ‘white’ carb varieties. 

Here, I present my first trial of Sweet Potato noodles. These types of alternate noodles are made of complex carbs and also pack a good bit of vitamins and antioxidants. These noodles are also naturally gluten-free. This is a simple stir-fry recipe with veggies such as carrots, broccoli, and mushrooms. The “secret sauce” is literally a sauce 😇 Whisk together sesame paste, rice wine vinegar, and soy sauce with a touch of maple syrup. I also made a paste of ginger, garlic, and red chillies. 

There are only 4 steps and combination of ingredients – 

👉 Stir fry the veggies at high heat 

👉 add the paste 

👉 add the cooked noodles and toss well
👉 finally add the sesame sauce and coat 

👉 finish off with a sprinkling of black sesame seeds 

Final verdict – these noodles are quite chewy and slippery! Cutting the noodles into smaller pieces was an easier way to consume them rather than in large pieces. 

Keep the recipe for a week night of quick stir-fry with any variety of noodles and choice of veggies. Pre-make and keep the spice paste handy in the fridge! 

All you need to make is the sauce 🤷🏻‍♀️
