Looking for a delicious 5 minute recipe!?
You came to the right place with these vegan gochujang tahini noodles!
I recently put this recipe together after a long time, because sometimes I don’t eve have a lot of time to cook! I couldn’t believe how delicious these and how little time they took. Not mention, all the ingredients where things I had here, mostly being pantry items.
I think back to when I was in college and how often I would have loved to have a recipe like this on hand, or after 14 hour days sometimes when I worked in production.
This recipe is comforting, filling and delicious! Yet it’s made vegan, gluten free and without refined sugar.
These vegan gochujang tahini noodles are basically healthy comfort food.
MADE IN ONLY 5 MINUTES!?
The beauty of this sauce is it comes together by simply being mixed in a bowl and added to your noodles.
I use this brand of gochujang I found online, which is the only one that is vegan and gluten free but still tastes amazing and authentic.
Gochujang in a Korean chili paste packed with flavor, it’s a little sweet and spicy!
To make these noodles extra creamy, I add tahini!
Tahini is made of sesames and pairs really well with gochujang, it’s a great source of fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals, including calcium!
Adding in some coconut milk, maple syrup, coconut aminos, lime juice, ginger and sea salt to make these noodles full of flavor!
GLUTEN FREE MADE EASY
After you mix together your sauce, all your have to do is cook up some ramen noodles. I actually start cooking the noodles first and by the time they are done, the sauce is ready!
I love this brand of gluten free ramen noodles, I have been using them for years and they’re a complete game changer!
It’s great to always have these on hand so whenever I’m craving noodles or need a quick recipe like this. I also use these noodles in my vegan tahini sriracha ramen, another delicious comforting and healthy recipe!
A little tip for switching to a plant based diet is to always have good healthy pantry staples on hand! 🙂
Following the package instruction, these noodles only take minutes to make, I always recommend checking them before straining to get your desired texture.
Add them back to the pot with the sauce and heat for a few minutes and you’re ready to serve!
Make It Your Own
You can add any toppings, vegetables or keep just it simple. I’ve served with steamed or sautéed vegetables like broccoli or bok choy.
To top, I added some cilantro, sesame seeds and lime wedges.
You can also enjoy this with a side of toasted nori snacks.
