Sweet Ginger Scallion Noodles for a Springtime #SundaySupper

When it comes to comfort food, you can't do much better than a big bowl of noodles. I'm not partial to any one kind of noodle dish in particular, but be it sauced with tomatoes, tossed with vegan Parmesan and black pepper or, like this one, dressed in an Asian sweet-salty glaze with lots of veggies, tucking into a slurpable carb fest is a perfect way to end a tough day at work, or to warm up after a brisk walk out in the cold.

For #SundaySupper this week, we're celebrating the coming Spring season by sharing recipes that are as bright as the future months. Amber of Mama's Blissful Bites is our host, and we have quite the delectable array to choose from when it comes to cooking for the season! I decided on these chewy somen noodles that I stir fried with shredded cabbage and broccoli and dressed with a spicy, sweet garlic - teriyaki - scallion sauce inspired by White on Rice Couple and Simply Reem. I've made it a few times now, and in the absence of scallions I've also used shaved leeks, which were amazing as well!

For what it's worth, I prefer San-J Teriyaki Sauce for general cooking (and especially noodle dishes like this), but it isn't vegan as it's honey based (I don't eat meat, dairy or eggs but I'm pretty lax on the honey thing). Steels is a good vegan option or you can make your own if you have the time and ingredients! The stevia I've been using lately is by a brand called Pyure, who's organic brand of stevia is made with probiotic inulin and tastes fantastic.
