• Pescatarian

  Caramelized Prawn and Peanut Noodles

  • 600 g Prawns instead of ground beef

  Toss the prawns in the cornstarch and stir-fry them for 2 to 3 minutes until just pink before adding the garlic and teriyaki; they need far less time than beef.

• Vegetarian

  Caramelized Plant-Based Mince and Peanut Noodles

  • 450 g Plant-based mince instead of ground beef

  Plant-based mince browns faster than beef and releases no fat, so add a little more oil and cook it for 4 to 5 minutes before the cornstarch and teriyaki.

• Vegan

  Caramelized Plant-Based Mince and Peanut Noodles

  • 450 g Plant-based mince instead of ground beef
  • 170 g Rice noodles instead of stir-fry egg noodles

  Plant-based mince browns faster than beef and releases no fat, so add a little more oil and cook it for 4 to 5 minutes before the cornstarch and teriyaki. Soak or boil the rice noodles per the packet instead of the egg noodles.

• Gluten-free

  • 80 ml Gluten-free teriyaki sauce instead of teriyaki sauce
  • 80 ml Tamari instead of soy sauce
