    Noodles deserve nothing other than the heart eyes emoji. I’m pretty obsessed with them, and with this easy coconut vegetable and mushroom stir-fry in particular. Nowadays, it's definitely a staple weeknight dinner for me - or whole week long dinner, to be more accurate, because I could easily eat stir-fry every day.

    You’ve probably noticed that I’ve posted plenty of really simple, quick recipes recently that require minimal equipment, ingredients and preparation. Because as a busy student I simply don’t have hours to spend in the kitchen, a lot of that has grown out of necessity.

    But I feel like from the start, my blog has headed in that general direction - my goal, after all, is to show people that plant based cooking is as easy or complicated as you want. And I feel like this coconut vegetable stir-fry fits perfectly into the parameters of ‘easy, healthy, delicious’.

    As you can see, this recipe is packed full of vibrant vegetables that bring along both wholesomeness and flavour. I used chestnut and oyster mushrooms, carrots, bell pepper, green peas and spinach. But the great thing about stir-fries is just how versatile they are! So if you don’t have any of those on hand, feel free to use whatever veggies you have in the fridge instead - either fresh or frozen.

    The star of the show is, of course, the coconut sauce. I love making sauces with coconut milk because it adds a lot of creaminess and does not require many more ingredients. The final product has a really rich and nutty flavour, and preparing it is as easy as stirring the ingredients together! If you don't want to stand in the kitchen for any longer than 15 minutes, I'd totally recommend you give this one a go.

    Recipe tips and substitutions

    • You can use any nut or seed butter of your choice in the sauce.
    • The rice noodles can be replaces with any vegan noodles of your choice.
    • Reduced fat coconut milk would work too, but the sauce just won’t be as creamy.
    • You can use soy sauce instead of tamari if not avoiding gluten. Use coconut aminos for a soy-free version.
