Meal prep friendly Thai Coconut Tahini Rice Noodle Bowls

This amazing easy vegan and gluten-free Thai Coconut Tahini Rice noodle recipe is not just delicious and easy to make, it’s also meal prep friendly. You can easily make it in advance and freeze it for later. Just add a little extra liquid when you are ready to reheat the dish and it will be brought back to life in no time. 

If you are making the noodle bowl a day in advance, you will also need to add a little extra liquid when you are reheating it. 

Can I substitute the coconut milk in this recipe?

The answer is yes. You can absolutely substitute the coconut milk with your favourite non-dairy milk. I like to use coconut milk because it adds so much depth and creaminess to the sauce, but you can easily swab it out for almond milk or your personal favourite. This vegan rice noodle bowl is very versatile and the seasonings is what really makes the recipe stand out. 

A few other great non-dairy milk options are:

  • Almond milk – still adds healthy fats and lots of nutrients to the dish
  • Soy milk
  • Rice milk – great for a skinny low-calorie version 
  • Oat milk
