    Jump to Recipe

    Manchurian Noodles is an Indo-Chinese dish where noodles and veggies are tossed in Manchurian sauce. They're saucy and so delicious.

    I love Indo-Chinese cuisine, it's one of my weaknesses. It's too bad there are such limited places to eat Indo-Chinese food. I have yet to find a delicious Indo-Chinese restaurant here in Orange County, CA. 

    Since this type of cuisine tends to be high in sodium, I like to cook the food once in a while, especially the noodles.

    What are Manchurian Noodles?

    Manchurian Noodles are essentially veggie noodles that are tossed in a Manchurian sauce. 

    Don't we all just love that Manchurian sauce, it's the best? These Manchurian Noodles are amazing and slightly saucy.

    Can I make this recipe vegan, gluten-free?

    This recipe is already vegan.

    For gluten-free, make sure you use gluten-free ramen noodles and gluten-free tamari or soy sauce.

    Can I use cornstarch instead of arrowroot powder?

    Yes! This recipe calls for arrowroot (cornstarch) slurry to help thicken the sauce. I prefer arrowroot powder, but cornstarch will work just fine. 

    Tips on making Manchurian Noodles:

    • Prep all the sauces and veggies ahead of time.
    • Do not overcook your veggies, cook them fast and on high heat so they're still crunchy.
    • Boil the ramen noodles and run under cold water.

    Ingredients you’ll need for Manchurian Noodles:

    Ramen Noodles

    Veggies: Red Onion, Red & Green Bell Pepper, Cremini Mushrooms, Scallions, Baby Corn

    Spices: Ginger, Garlic, Green Chilies

    Sauces: Red Chili Sauce, Ketchup, Tamari/Soy Sauce, Chili Vinegar

    Arrowroot Powder

    Dry Spice: Black Pepper
