Vegan Noodles with Meatless Meatballs

Jump to Recipe

This Vegan Noodles with Meatless Meatballs recipe is so good, you won’t be able to stop eating. It’s nutty, spicy, sweet and so irresistibly delicious…and it’s pretty healthy too.
My Vegan Lo mein noodles with vegan meatballs are one of those quick, go-to, last minute recipes that always turns out amazing. I like to think of it as a fusion between Spaghetti with meatless meatballs and traditional vegetable Lo Mein. It’s packed with goodness – sliced carrots, broccoli florets, spicy peppers, garlic, corn, water chesnuts and vegan meatballs.

What vegan meatballs to use

I like to make my own vegan meatballs and usually have a large pre made batch waiting in the freezer. I find it easier to have the meatballs prepared in advance on busy weeknights, because I’m usually running low on energy around dinner time, and want a quick, easy and tasty meal that I can prepare in under 30 minutes. But if you have the energy, it’s easy to make vegan meatballs in the moment. It will add a little extra cooking time, though.
If you’re like me and want to make your own vegan meatballs, you can use any of my vegan meatball recipes – try my amazing vegan tofu meatballs here, or my high protein vegan meatballs here, or my easy vegan italian meatballs here.
If you’re not in the mood to cook meatless meatballs and you don’t have any waiting in the freezer, you can always just leave out the meatballs. The recipe is still delicious and filling thanks to all the vegetables.
