Veggie Garlic Noodles

November 6, 2024

Veggie Garlic Noodles is a simple, quick, and flavor-packed dish that’s perfect for busy weeknights or when you’re craving a light but satisfying meal. Combining fresh vegetables, noodles, and a savory garlic sauce, this dish delivers big on taste with minimal ingredients and effort. It’s a perfect balance of comfort and freshness, making it a go-to option for both vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.

The key to this dish is its aromatic garlic sauce. A mixture of olive oil, soy sauce, and a dash of sesame oil gives the noodles a delicious savory base, while the garlic infuses the entire dish with rich fragrance. The sauce is light but full of flavor, bringing together the slightly salty soy sauce and the nutty sesame oil to create a satisfying bite with each forkful.

The vegetables used in Veggie Garlic Noodles can be easily customized depending on what you have on hand. Common choices include bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, and snap peas, all of which add a touch of sweetness and crunch. The freshness of the veggies contrasts beautifully with the rich garlic sauce, making each bite both satisfying and refreshing. If you want to add more texture, you can toss in some spinach or mushrooms, which pair well with the garlic and soy sauce.

For the noodles, you can use anything from spaghetti to rice noodles or even soba noodles for a different texture. The key is to cook the noodles just right, ensuring they stay slightly firm and can absorb the sauce. Once the noodles and veggies are ready, they’re simply tossed in the garlic sauce, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Veggie Garlic Noodles is also highly versatile. You can make it your own by adding a protein such as tofu, shrimp, or chicken. For a lighter option, keep it vegetarian, and if you’re in the mood for extra richness, a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds or a drizzle of chili oil can elevate the dish.

This dish comes together in about 30 minutes, making it an easy choice for dinner. It’s filling yet light, providing the perfect comfort food without weighing you down. Whether you’re cooking for one or feeding a family, Veggie Garlic Noodles is a flavorful and satisfying meal that’s sure to please everyone at the table.

      Lookin good but I dont think it would taste that great. Seems pretty bland to me.

    Wow, these noodles are fantastic! Super easy to make and packed with flavor. My family loved it!

  9. 3 stars
    Really? 4 cloves of garlic? That’s a lot!

  10. User avatar Super Saiyan Vegeta says:

    3 stars
    It was okay, but the garlic was overwhelming. I like garlic, but maybe use less next time.

  11. User avatar india.shields3 says:

    Not bad, but is there something missing? Maybe some peanuts or something?

    1. 3 stars
      Nah, I don’t think peanuts are necessary. The veggies and garlic are enough flavor! But you do you.

    2. 5 stars
      I think peanuts would be a great addition! They add a nice crunch and flavor!

  12. User avatar Bilbo Baggins says:

    2 stars
    Hmmm, I don’t know about the sesame oil. I think it’s too fancy for simple noodles. Just use butter, much better.

  13. User avatar hyo.rohan40 says:

    Easy and quick! Perfect for a weeknight meal!

    1. User avatar felipe.zboncak20 says:

      Yesss, love how simple it is! I made this after work, super fast and delish! Definitely a repeat for me.

  14. User avatar Feral Falmer says:

    3 stars
    Okay but like I don’t know what soba means. Are these noodles or just spaghetti?

  15. User avatar rachael.reilly1971 says:

    4 stars
    I used spaghetti instead of noodles because that’s what I had haha. Still turned out decent! Thanks!

  16. User avatar malena.hartmann68 says:

    Can I use regular vegetable oil instead of olive oil? What’s the difference really?

    1. User avatar damion.cronin2011 says:

      5 stars
      Yes, you can use regular vegetable oil! The main difference is flavor; olive oil has a more distinct taste, while vegetable oil is more neutral. It should still turn out great!

  17. User avatar meghan.hartmann9 says:

    4 stars
    Really affordable and healthy! I used frozen veggies and it still turned out great.

  18. User avatar anton.feeney1955 says:

    1. User avatar darrin.schumm29 says:

      5 stars
      Sounds delish! I was looking for a quick recipe. I think I’ll try adding shrimp instead of chicken. Thanks for sharing!

    2. User avatar clinton.mckenzie9 says:

      3 stars
      Not sure about adding chicken to noodles. Isn’t that against the whole veggie thing? But hey, if you liked it!

  20. 3 stars
    Confused on the servings… is this for 1 or 4 people? Seemed too little for me. 🤔

    1. User avatar clarence.barrows says:

      4 stars
      I think the recipe is for 4! There are a lot of veggies and noodles, just a smaller portion size. 👌

  21. User avatar coralee.littel33 says:

    Easy peasy! I had everything in my pantry. I added some tofu too!

  22. User avatar tad.block75 says:

    Quick yet satisfying. Perfect for busy weeknight! I doubled the garlic tho. More flavor! 😋

    1. User avatar cythia.weissnat1986 says:

      I love garlic too! Doubling it sounds awesome! Can’t wait to try this! 🌟

  23. User avatar laverne.collins says:

    Quick and nice! But I put a bit more garlic and added some chilies. Made it spicier, yum!

    1. User avatar mathilde.jakubowski says:

      Sounds delicious! I love garlic and chilies! Gonna try this mix next time. Thanks for sharing!

    2. User avatar brianna.tromp2021 says:

      3 stars
      Ummm, adding more garlic is cool but isn’t that too much? I mean, garlic is good but not if it overpowers everything. Just saying!

  24. 2 stars
    Too much garlic, my breath is awful now lol. Next time less garlic!

    1. User avatar carter.cruickshank1980 says:

      4 stars
      Garlic is the best! But I get you, next time just use 2 cloves. 😂

  25. User avatar Chaurus Hunter says:

    1. User avatar mathWizard says:

      4 stars
      I think it’s great! Can’t go wrong with garlic and noodles. Maybe try splashing in some lime next time?

    2. User avatar bethany.murphy1965 says:

      3 stars
      5/10? I thought it was good enough, but yeah, I get what you mean. Could use some spice or something.

  27. 5 stars
    I didn’t have broccoli so I used peas! Still was super delish. 5 stars all the way!

    1. User avatar irving.heller says:

      5 stars
      Using peas instead of broccoli is such a clever idea! Glad to hear it turned out tasty! 🌟

    2. User avatar janee.hegmann2 says:

      3 stars
      I wonder if that’s really the same, tho. Garlic noodles should have some crunch, right? Peas seem too soft.

  28. User avatar ligia.hintz2015 says:

    2 stars
    Meh. I expected better. Can’t they put meat in it too? It would be bomb then.

  29. User avatar geoffrey.sawayn35 says:

    4 stars
    Do you have to use olive oil? I tried with canola, and it turned out fine. Good recipe!

    1. User avatar Albert Huels says:

      4 stars
      I’ve used canola too, but I prefer the flavor of olive oil. It really makes a difference! But as long as it works for you, that’s what matters. 😊

    2. User avatar tissues_with_issues says:

      3 stars
      Olive oil is better for health, but if canola works, then go for it! Enjoy your noodles!

    This is NOT how you make real ramen. You can’t just throw in some veggies and call it a dish. Disappointed.

    1. User avatar daniel.mosciski34 says:

      4 stars
      I think you’re being too harsh! It’s a veggie dish, not traditional ramen. Sometimes simple is better!

    2. 5 stars
      But this recipe isn’t claiming to be real ramen. Just give it a try, you might like it!

  31. User avatar dwayne.yundt97 says:

    4 stars
    This was a good recipe! I didn’t have all the veggies, so I used frozen ones. Still turned out great!

    Why is there so much oil? It felt greasy. I had to wash the pan twice! 😒

    1. User avatar stacey.kuhn43 says:

      3 stars
      Oil is necessary for the flavor! Maybe try using less next time, but I think it’s a part of the recipe.

    2. 4 stars
      I get what you mean! I sometimes skip the oil, just use a bit of water instead. Works fine for me! 👍

  33. User avatar Yasmin Mante says:

    3 stars
    They were okay, but I think they needed more flavor. I used regular soy sauce and it was kind of salty.

  34. User avatar alix.marks says:

    Yum!! I added some chili flakes for spice. I recommend. 🌶️

    1. User avatar madalyn.lubowitz19 says:

  38. User avatar alden.glover1985 says:

    I don’t get it, the sauce is too salty for me. I think you could use less soy sauce. Just my opinion.

    1. User avatar tamera.leuschke25 says:

      5 stars
      I totally agree! The soy sauce can really overwhelm the dish. I usually do half the amount and it tastes way better.

    2. User avatar maragaret.price8 says:

      2 stars
      But that’s how it’s supposed to be! Maybe you just need to get used to it. Can’t imagine it without soy sauce.

  39. User avatar olen.nikolaus21 says:

    It was okay, but I think it needed more flavor. Maybe add some chili sauce or something? 🤷‍♂️
