After seeing my roommate making a lot of creamy pasta, I wondered what it'll be like to create a vegan Asian version of this dish using red pepper paste and vegan cream. That's how this recipe comes about. I posted it on my Instagram stories and within a few hours, this story has 13K views and so many people asking for the recipe!

Ingredients and substitutions

To make this recipe, you'll need:

Vegan Creamy Mushroom Pasta ingredients
Ingredients for the recipe
  • Vegan butter: adds the buttery taste
  • Garlic: adds the garlicky taste that elevates the dish
  • A combination of mushrooms, such as cremini and shimeji mushroom: you can swap this for other mushrooms of choice, such as oyster, or king oyster mushroom. They shrink down as they cook, so I recommend about 400 g of mushrooms for 3 servings.
  • Red pepper paste: I recommend using harissa paste or gochujang, this adds a hint of spice to the dish and the nice orange color
  • Soy sauce: adds umami to the dish.
  • Vegan cooking cream: adds the creamy texture to the sauce
  • Water: helps thin out the sauce
  • Noodles: I made this using Taiwanese knife-cut noodles and udon noodles, but you can use any pasta of your choice too!

Toppings: As with many Asian recipes, this recipe uses toppings such as:

  • Chopped green onions
  • Sesame seeds

The creamy sauce

The sauce has an orange vibrant color and a super creamy texture made with vegan butter, vegan cooking cream, and red pepper paste. The final result should look like this and will make you come back for more:

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tbsp vegan butter
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 200 g cremini mushroom
  • 200 g shimeji mushroom (or other mushrooms of choice)
  • 2 tbsp red pepper paste (I use harissa, you can also use gochujang)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 100 ml vegan cooking cream (I recommend soy or oat-based)
  • 100 ml water (preferably the water from the noodles)
  • 3 servings of noodles (you can use udon noodles, Taiwanese knife cut noodles, instant ramen noodles or pasta of choice)

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice the garlic. Wash and thinly slice the cremini mushrooms. Wash and chop off the ends of the shimeji mushroom.
  2. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain the noodles, keeping the cooking water.
  3. In a pan, add 1 tablespoon of vegan butter, then the mushrooms. Sautée the mushroom until golden brown on both sides and crispy.
