These spiralized sweet potato noodles are stir-fried with veggies and a delicious homemade teriyaki sauce! Grain, gluten, and dairy free, as well as vegan and paleo friendly.
On busy weekdays, the last thing I feel like doing is standing in the kitchen for 2 hours making dinner, especially if I’ve already been in the kitchen all day testing recipes. All I want to do is get a delicious dinner on the table quickly so we can eat and then sit together for our nightly family time, which lately has consisted of binge-watching some of the Korean dramas on Netflix!
I know it sounds weird, as none of us are even Korean, but they’re actually really entertaining. My late grandma from Hawaii used to be addicted to them and would always have them playing in her house. My mom got hooked on them too and when she came to visit us over the holidays last year, she spread her addiction to all of us! I love how clean (most of them anyway) and family-friendly they are. They have such a cute culture, not to mention some of the yummiest food ever (it’s my fave!) In case I’ve piqued your interest, a few of our recent favorites are Heaven’s Garden, Descendant’s of the Sun, and Tomorrow’s Cantabile, which all on Netflix right now!
I’ve had my spiralizer
for some time, but have only recently began to get my money’s worth. It’s one of the gadgets you buy with good intentions and then it gets placed on the shelf, along with your ice cream maker and that juicer you planned to use everyday but have only used once since you bought it. 😳
This stir-fry is definitely a great excuse to bust it out again! I adapted this recipe from my Teriyaki Veggie & Noodle Stir-Fry, using spiralized sweet potato noodles instead of wheat or rice noodles, making it completely grain free as well as gluten free (depending on the “soy” sauce you use, of course.)
This is a meal that takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish. It’s also healthy and definitely veggie-rich! If you’re looking for a protein source, feel free to add in some grilled chicken or shrimp. You can even use the veggies you have sitting in your fridge instead of the ones I’ve listed. However you choose to customize it, I hope you enjoy this quick and easy dish!

To Make Sauce:
- Combine tamari/soy sauce, honey/coconut sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and pinch of pepper in a small bowl. Stir and set aside.
Spiralize Noodles:
- Chop ends off potatoes and use the smaller noodle setting on your spiralizer
to thin noodles. Set aside. You can also use your spiralizer blade of choice, just keep in mind cooking times will vary.
Stir-Fry:
- Heat oil in a large pan or wok over high heat. Add onion and sauté for a minute or two, just until it begins to turn translucent. Stir in garlic, cabbage, bell pepper, and mushrooms; cook for a few minutes.
- Add your spiralized noodles, pea pods, and half of the sauce mixture. Stir quickly. Sauce will begin to reduce sauce, coating the noodles. Add more sauce as needed and continue cooking until noodles and veggies are crisp-tender (soft but will have a bite; al dente). Serves 4–6.
Notes
*Can substitute zucchini noodles for the sweet potato, although cooking time will vary.

This looks simply amazing!!! do you think it would be possible to make these noodles by hand? Since going to Azia I’ve been noodle addicted 🙂 and nothing I can do about it, hehe (the noodle ceramic is the most used object in the house). I will have to check out all your recipes now and try them out 🙂 Thanks for that!
Thanks, Kat! I appreciate it! You could make veggie ribbons with a vegetable peeler! If not, I have a link above for a teriyaki noodle stir-fry which uses regular noodles 🙂
Okay I want to eat this asap! haha your food photography is amazing too! I would’ve never thought to use sweet potatoes for noodles YUM!!
Thank you for the kind words Maddy!
My mouth was watering the entire time I read this! This looks like a great pasta substitute, What can I replace the Coconut aminos with? Thanks!
Thanks, Sandra! Coconut aminos are a healthier soy sauce substitute, so you can just use soy sauce or tamari, which is the gluten-free soy sauce. I have links to it in the recipe!
