These vegan spicy sweet chilli noodles are so quick and easy to make, they are my go-to lazy girl weeknight recipe! Or weekend if you’re craving a take away but want something fresh and healthier!

These sweet chili noodles come together in less than half an hour, which is exactly what you want when you’re craving a noodle dish!

This recipe is super versatile. You can use any veggies you like or have on hand. I went for broccoli, courgette and mushrooms but you can use what you like or have in the fridge! I

t’s a great recipe if you need to use up any veggies in the fridge. If you want to add some protein add some cubed tofu or vegan chicken pieces. Fry them up with the vegetables.

What you’ll need for sweet chilli vegetable noodles:

• Onion – red onions are sweeter but you can use a white onion
• Broccoli – chopped broccoli into bite sized pieces
• Courgette/zucchini – one medium courgette cut into semi circles
• Mushrooms – I use chestnut/cremini mushrooms but any variety of mushroom will work well
• Noodles – we are using wholewheat noodles but use your favourite – ramen or rice noodles will work well just cook according to packed instructions
• Sweet chilli sauce – the base to the sauce, you may find the spiciness varies by brand. Our favouite is the Maggi or Thai Dragon sweet chili sauce
• Soy sauce – regular soy sauce, adds umami saltiness to the sauce
• Sriracha – adds heat, you can add as little or as much as you like. If you aren’t sure, add 1/2 tsp, taste and adjust to your preference
• Peanut butter – adds a creamy nuttiness to the sauce. If you can’t eat peanut you could sub for almond
• Water – a bit of boiled water to loosen the sauce and bring it together

Optional toppings

• Extra chilli flakes or chopped fresh chilli
• Sesame seeds
• Sliced spring onion/scallion

How to make sweet chilli noodles:

This recipe comes together quickly so prepare your vegetables. Thinly slice the onion, chop the broccoli into bite sized pieces, the courgette into semi circles and slice the mushrooms.

If you’re using any other vegetables just be sure to cut them into similar sizes, you don’t want really chunky bits of vegetables.

Fry all the vegetables in a wok or pan on medium to high heat for 4-5 minutes until nicely browned and softened.

Cook the noodles according to packet instructions. If you’re using wholewheat noodles, bring a pot of water to the boil and then add noodles, they only take a few minutes.

In a bowl whisk together all the sauce ingredients. Taste and add a bit more sriracha if you like it spicier.

Once the noodles are cooked add to the wok with the vegetable then pour over the sweet chili sauce and toss until well coated.

Serve and top with some extra chili flakes, sesame seeds and chopped spring onions.

Are sweet chili noodles healthy?

Sweet chili sauce does contain sugar, but everything eaten in moderation is healthy. To make it a bit lighter we’ve used wholewheat noodles and it’s packed with veggies which are good for you!

What to serve with sweet chili noodles:

• Spring rolls – so good! Pop these in the oven before you start preparing your noodles so they’re ready at the same time
• Crispy tofu – toss some cubed tofu in cornflour and a bit of olive oil and pop in the oven for 20 minutes. You can make some extra sweet chili sauce to toss the tofu in, or simply dip in some soy sauce on the side.
• Gyoza / steamed dumplings – you can get some great frozen vegetable/vegan gyozas in the supermarket

These noodles are so simple that it almost isn’t a recipe, but it is full of flavour and spice which I love! And there is nothing better than a quick and easy recipe to satisfy your noodle cravings!

Short on time? If you’re feeling lazy and don’t want to stir fry the veg I won’t judge you if you just eat the noodles with the sauce (guilty on many occasions when I’m in a rush).
