A Closer Look at Our Vegetarian Noodles 

These two dishes aren’t just meat-free—they’re full of bold flavor, texture, and personality:

• Vegetarian Dan Dan Noodles: This dish starts with springy wheat noodles, layered with chili oil, scallions, roasted peanuts, and golden tofu cubes. Pea shoots bring a little crunch, and the heat sneaks up just enough to keep things exciting.
• Vegetarian Stir-Fried Noodles: Wok-seared noodles meet a rainbow of fresh vegetables, quickly cooked to keep their snap. It’s savory, colorful, and satisfying without being heavy.

Both vegetarian Chinese noodle dishes offer the kind of comforting depth usually reserved for slow-simmered broths or long-stewed meats—but they do it with plants.

Delicious Sides to Enjoy With Plant-Based Noodle Options
