Using Impossible Ground Beef makes this vegan ground beef noodle stir fry delicious and easy to throw together on a weeknight.
An easy noodle dish filled with plant-based goodness
I love a good noodle night, and this vegan ground beef noodle stir fry is quickly rising to the top of my recipe roster. It’s easy to make and is super savory, thanks to Impossible Ground Beef.
What you need
You only need a handful of ingredients for the stir fry and a few extra ingredients for the sauce. Below is a list of what you’ll be using.
- Sauce: This is a combination of low-sodium soy sauce, sriracha, mirin, white miso, roasted sesame paste, and chili garlic sauce. It makes for a savory, rich, spicy sauce that coats the noodles perfectly.
- Protein: I use Impossible Ground Beef, but your favorite plant-based ground beef works well here. Try it with Abbot’s Butcher Ground Beef!
- Veggies: I load this noodle dish up with onion, red bell pepper, frozen edamame, and sliced cabbage. Add your favorite stir fry veggies, like sugar snap peas, grated carrots, or broccoli florets.
- Noodles: I use Ocean’s Halo ramen noodles, but your favorite noodle will be delicious in this. Try it with soba, udon, or rice noodles.
How to make it
Making this vegan ground beef noodle stir fry is relatively simple and no fuss! That’s my kind of weeknight dinner!
- Step 1: Make the sauce and cook the noodles. Before beginning the recipe, whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce and set aside. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles according to package directions.
- Step 2: Brown the beef. Fry the Impossible Ground Beef in a little oil for 12–15 minutes until cooked through and well-browned. Transfer to a bowl.
- Step 3: Cook the vegetables. Start with the onion and bell pepper, and then add the edamame.
- Step 4: Finish adding the vegetables. Add the cabbage and return the Impossible Ground Beef to the skillet.
- Step 5: Simmer in the sauce. Pour the sauce over the beef and cabbage and cook for about 5 minutes until it wilts.
- Step 7: Finish the stir fry. Add the cooked noodles and toss to coat. You’re all finished!

Instructions
Prepare the sauce:
