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
