Anyone need more easy, healthy, and plant-based, vegan dinner ideas? You, too? I’m here to help!

This one couldn’t be any easier or quicker! It takes about 20 minutes to make this recipe for your Vegan Asian Noodle Bowl–you can’t beat that!

It’s a simple recipe using brown rice noodles as the base, topping with some quick, stir-fry vegetables, and the most creamy, delicious sauce ever. The sauce has some Asian influences with tamari sauce, sesame oil, lime, and ginger, with its creaminess coming from the almond butter.

This sauce is based on the peanut sauce I use in this Broccoli and Chicken with Peanut Sauce. I used almond butter in place of peanut butter because peanut butter can be inflammatory and wanted to make this an anti-inflammatory recipe.

You can, of course, use peanut butter if you prefer.

This is a gluten-free dinner recipe as well. I prefer brown rice noodles, but a number of different noodles will work here, including regular rice noodles or soba noodles.

I’m not a trained chef and I don’t claim this recipe to be authentic to any ethnic cuisine, but my taste buds know delicious and this is a great-tasting meal!

I keep everything separate using these glass bento box food storage containers. At lunchtime, these can be eaten cold or can be heated up quickly using either a pan on the stovetop or even the microwave. Want another meal prep recipe idea? Try these Spicy Turkey Meal Prep Bowls.

    Thank you! The recipe looks good, but the name is misleading. The sauce is not vegan because it includes honey, which is an animal product.
