Mushroom noodles is a quick and easy Asian-style stir-fried noodle dish that can be enjoyed in every season. The combination of noodles, blend of Asian sauces, and sauteed mushrooms, is delicious. It's a great quick meat-free dinner option made with a handful of basic ingredients.
Cook noodles following the package instructions. Strain, drizzle around a tablespoon of oil on cooked noodles, and gently toss. Keep the noodles aside. Don't discard the water in which the noodles were cooked.
In a bowl, mix soy sauce, vegan oyster sauce, red chili sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and ground black pepper. Keep the sauce mix aside.
Heat 1.5 tablespoons of oil in a wok. Add the white part of spring onion, ginger, and garlic. Saute for about a minute.
Add chopped mushrooms and saute for 4-5 minutes or until the mushrooms are cooked and the mushroom water dries up.

Add chopped spring onion greens and saute for a few seconds.
Finally, add cooked noodles and around ¼ cup of water in which the noodles were cooked.

Notes
Instead of noodles, spaghetti can also be used in this recipe. However, if using spaghetti in an Asian recipe, don't cook it al dente. It should be slightly softer in Asian recipes.
If you cannot find vegan or vegetarian oyster sauce, feel free to use any other Asian stir-fry sauce of your choice.
You can also add vegetables like bell peppers, broccolini, greens beans, and snow peas to this dish.
As the sauces already have salt in them, add more salt carefully and only if required.
Always use a large skillet or wok for stir-frying. It makes stirring the food easier.
Stir fry on high heat to get the best result.
As the Asian style stir-frying is done on high heat, keep all the ingredients ready and near the stovetop before starting the process.
To make more spicy mushroom noodles, drizzle somechili oilor chopped green chilies on top.
