15-min Spicy Mushroom Noodles

These knife shaved noodles coated in a spicy soy sauce and infused with spiced shitake mushrooms for the ultimate under-30 minute dinner.

This quick & easy mushroom noodles are tossed in an incredibly spicy and flavourful sauce, and can be made in just 15 minutes! We’ve topped it with some scallions and toasted sesame seeds for extra crunch and flavour. I make these at least once a week because they are that good!

I have used these thick and flat Taiwanese sliced noodles found at a local grocery stores in my area – they are made with just wheat flour, water and salt. So no need for instant ramen when you have this healthy noodles! It can also be prepared in just 5 minutes in boiling water.

These cut of noodles help to soak up all the flavours from the sauce and when boiled according to instructions, you’ll get a chewy texture that makes it even more delectable!

What Do I Need?

Here’s a list of the ingredients you would need for this recipe – I personally LOVE that it uses mostly pantry friendly ingredients that you can use basically for many of my other noodle recipes.

• chili flakes – I use gochugaru for the bright red colour but you can also use normal chili flakes. Be sure to add a lesser amount if you don’t want it to be too hot!
• sichuan pepper – I love the numbing flavour it adds to the noodle sauce.
• 5-spices – makes the sauce so so fragrant!
• sesame oil – non-negotiable, sesame oil makes any noodle dish super tasty.
• soy sauces – light soy sauce for umaminess and dark soy sauce for colour.
• sweetener – you can use any type of sweetener but I use agave or maple syrup in most of my recipes.
• vegan oyster sauce – this is a mushroom based sauce that adds MAJOR umaminess to the dish
• shitake mushrooms – I chopped them up finely and added it to the sauce to add flavour of mushrooms in every bite!
