Instructions

Start by boiling a large pot of water and cooking your preferred vegan noodles according to the package instructions. Drain the noodles and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the grated ginger if using, for an extra layer of flavor.
Pour in the vegetable broth, soy sauce, maple syrup, and vinegar, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add the chopped vegetables, cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Add the cooked vegan noodles to the skillet, tossing everything together to coat the noodles evenly with the savory sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.

Notes

Customize the vegetable assortment based on seasonal availability or personal preference.
For added protein, consider including tofu cubes, tempeh strips, or edamame in the dish.
If making gluten-free, ensure all ingredients, especially soy sauce, are gluten-free.
