Vegan Instant 'Beef' Noodle Soup

Anyone have a recipe for mock beef? Do y’all generally use seitan?

Thanks for the question, Catherine! We don’t currently have a dedicated mock beef recipe, although hopefully one day we'll create one! The mock beef we used here was store-bought. In case you would like to use seitan, we have two seitan recipes: “Homemade Seitan – Mock Meat” and “Washed Flour Seitan”. If using homemade seitan, just be sure to give the soup a taste and add more seasoning or sauce as needed. If you’re looking for something less involved, oyster mushrooms are another alternative we’ve heard positive reviews for. Hope this helps for now! 🫶

Adding this to my weekly Rolodex. Soooo delicious. I used boiled potatoes in place of corn. The vegan meat I used was beyond meat steak

Not really very keen on this. It’s quite difficult and messy to eat, and the taste is a bit too savory. Perhaps meaty? Difficult to describe - I’ve had enough after a mouthful or so. I’ve made it a few times and always hoped I’d like it because of the protein content. Will rotate to the next protein rich recipe 😊

Hey Louise, thanks for sharing your experience with the recipe. For a less 'meaty' twist, we’ve heard a positive review about using oyster mushrooms instead of mock beef. Mock chicken or soy-based options like tofu could also be delicious alternatives ☺️

Thanks for always giving your advice on how to change a recipe to someone’s individual taste. It’s very helpful 🙏

Loved this dish, the flavours work so perfectly with the other ingredients.

Like a nice quick pho. (I used hoison instead of teriyaki because it's what I had on hand. )

Super fast and delicious. Perfect weeknight meal.

This was so great! We also tried it as a stir fry rather than a soup and it was equally as good. Will be making again :-)

Love this recipe! So simple and really tasty!

I used different veggies that I had left over but this is amazing after a long day of work!

Love it. If I may be so bold, I can also recommend replacing the mock beef with oyster mushrooms.

Thanks for the review and recommendation, Can! 😃

Been looking for ways to use up some vegan "beef" stock cubes I have and this was a great recipe. I did it on the hob as I didn't have precooked mock meat or edamame and also I like my veggies softened a bit but it was soo really quick and tasty

We're so glad that the soup was enjoyed, Claire! Thanks for sharing your experience with it ☺️

Didn’t like this one. But everybody has got a different taste 😉

Hey Christine, we'll keep an eye out in case anyone else reports a similar experience. Our goal is five-star recipes for everyone ⭐️

Wonderful recipe for a quick lunch and if you’re craving Asian flavors and noodles!

I love this soup, struggling to find ‘beef shreds’ that I would like
