Vegan Asian Style ‘Beef’ Spaghetti

This Vegan Beef Spaghetti recipe is mouthwatering and made with a simple 6-ingredient delectable Asian-style sauce! Scroll down for the gluten free option.

Everyone says you can never get sick of too much pasta… that’s 100% truth! And also the reason why I’m going to have plenty of pasta recipes on this page. I like to prepare them fusion style so as a disclaimer, the recipes will not aim to replicate authentic Italian pastas unless I state it clearly. Otherwise, this Asian Style ‘Beef’ Spaghetti was one of my fun experiments that turned out delicious!

I never thought Asian flavours will go so well with spaghetti but this recipe proved me wrong! The key condiments that contribute to the flavour profile are soy sauce, vinegar and sugar. It’s also very important to cook the pasta al-dente for a chewy but delectable texture.

Plant Based ‘Beef’ Alternatives

For the ‘beef’, I used Fable Mane Mushrooms by Fable Foods Co. It was sponsored to me by Good Food People SG, a meat alternative grocer. It has the meatiest texture and I definitely could not believe they were actually made of mushrooms only! The ingredient list also seemed clean, without any preservatives or additives. *This review is not sponsored.

If you’d like to use ground beef, crumbled firm tofu or textured vegetable protein (TVP) work really well as well. You can also use other plant-based meats, like Impossible or Beyond for a mid week or weekend indulgence!

Make this dish gluten free, easily!

For a gluten free option, you can swap out light and dark soy sauces for gluten free soy sauce. I really like the ones below by Lee Kum Kee and Kikkoman. I have also attached the images of other gluten free soy sauce alternatives like Tamari and Coconut Aminos below. You can get them at Amazon or your local Asian grocery store. They are relatively easy to find!

You can also try a gluten free version of the pasta – I’ve realized brown rice spaghetti works wonders and tastes very similar to the actual thing. I use the Naturel brand if I want to keep my pasta gluten free.
