These 15-Minute Sesame Ginger Noodles are bursting with bold ginger flavour and fresh crunchy vegetables! They come together in less than 15 minutes, and are completely vegan and gluten-free!
The best rice noodle recipe
If you’re looking for a quick 15 minute dinner, look no further!
These Sesame Ginger Noodles with bok choy will be your new favourite go-to dish. I love rice noodles because they’re naturally gluten-free, easier to digest than wheat noodles, and cook up in no time.
This recipe is bursting with bold ginger flavour, and loaded with veggie goodness from the bok choy. If you don’t have any bok choy available, you can feel free to use broccoli, or even any other green vegetable you have in your fridge. However, if you happen to find bok choy, this Ramen Noodle Stir Fry and Easy Vegetarian Laksa also feature it!
How to make 15-Minute Sesame Ginger Noodles
First, mix your sauce together in a bowl, then add it to the pot. This lets the garlic and ginger cook slightly, and lets the sauce thicken up. Next, the bok choy gets cooked up in the sauce, then the rice noodles get cooked up with everything last.
I like to boil some water to cook the rice noodles while I’m preparing the sauce and the bok choy, which makes the process for this recipe go even faster!
Rice noodles also cook really quickly, so make sure to keep an eye on them and set a timer (based on package directions) so you don’t end up overcooking your noodles. When they’re soft but still have a slight chew to them, you know they’re done! I find boiling rice noodles takes about 2-3 minutes.

Great recipe. I am currently sick with a cold and pregnant. The dr said to eat lots of garlic and ginger, this was a great way to do it and was delicious.
Thanks Cath! Happy you enjoyed!
Hi Jess, I’d like to use dark soy sauce to color the noodles. Should I do half regular soy sauce / half dark soy sauce? Thanks a lot for 🙂 Justine
Hi Justine! Yes exactly-half and half is the best way to go:)
This was delicious!! And so quick to make. I never have bok choy so I wasn’t sure how to prepare it. Now I want it to be a weekly dish!

This recipe is becoming my new staple! So easy to make and my taste buds are very satisfied! I added brocoli and red pepper so I have leftovers for tomorrow.
I have to admit I’m a bit lazy in the kitchen but I still want delicious food which seems almost impossible sometimes. With this recipe I have proof that I don’t have to waiste my money on Uber eats to get a delicious, healthy, simple comfy food.
Thank you!!!
Yay Emie! Homemade noodles are always a winner in my home too 🙂
Can’t remember if I’ve commented yet – but I’ve done this recipe ( and the garlic one) maybe 4x now and I love it so much! It is comprehensive and easy, yet the flavor is not compromised. Thank you so much for your blog!
Thanks Alyssa! Happy you love the recipe 🙂
The garlic and the ginger really stand out here. So glad I found this recipe tonight-pantry was looking sparse and I wasn’t feeling too inspired. It was a pure delight! I am sure I will make it again. Thanks Jess 🙂
So happy you enjoyed the recipe Stacey!
