It’s time for another installment of my Plant Sourced series. Today’s high protein vegan recipe is a really simple stir fry that takes less than 10 minutes to throw together. The focus is on the protein sources so the seasoning is simple but still tasty.
Protein Sources
As with my last recipe, the protein comes from a couple of different sources to get a variety of vitamins. The bulk of the protein comes from the black bean noodles and edamame, with a smaller helping hand from the other green vegetables in the dish.
In total, this recipe contains 42g of protein per serving. 11.1g comes from the edamame, 23g from the black bean noodles.

Nutritional Information
As well as being high protein, this recipe is also high in vitamins A, C and K, containing over the full amount of the RDA for each. Due to the high amount of the vegetables and beans, it’s also very fibre rich, containing 21.4g (86% RDA).
High Protein Vegan Stir Fry Recipe
The vast majority of the protein in this recipe comes from the edamame and black bean noodles, so you can sub the vegetables for anything else you’d prefer if you want to mix it up a little. But I opted for these ones as I prefer my stir fries to be on the crunchier side, and this vegetable combination is the perfect blend of freshness and sweetness. If you’d prefer your vegetables to be a little less crunchy, add another 2 minutes to the cooking time.
This recipe is gluten free, dairy free, nut free and vegan. It does contain soy.

Once the noodles are cooked, drain them and add them to the wok. Stir in the tamari and lemon juice, continue to stir and fully combine everything for one minute before serving.
Serve and enjoy!
I always find stir fries to be a great option for a quick and easy meal, what are your go-tos in a hurry?
Until next time,

I love stir fry but I always find that they aren’t as filling as I think they’ll be! This sounds delicious though x
I somehow didn’t even know that black bean noodles existed! They sound like something that I’d love so I’ll definitely be testing them out 🙂 x

Sounds good. Always looking for new recipes. Thanks
I can’t say that I’ve ever tried a vegan stir fry recipe but yours really looks delicious. I’ve never tried a ginger paste either. I’ve always used fresh or ground ginger. I am looking forward to trying this recipe.
Never cooked with black bean noodles before but I love black beans and this is a great way to add extra protein to my meal. This stir fry looks so good and filling. Definitely trying!
This sounds so yummy. I can’t wait to try it out.
This sounds yummy! I rely on meat substitutes a little too much so its nice to see something high in protein without them
This looks, and sounds delicious!
I’m loving your Plant Sourced series so far! I love a stir fry so I definitely want to give this a go. Your pictures of it look amazing! 🙂
Yum! This looks so delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
This looks amazing though I might exchange the edamame for something else since I really don’t like them much I know, I’m weird. What would you recommend instead ?
Love, Tea

I love stir fries! With tamari and sesame oil, the vegetables take on a new flavor. Rice is something I love to eat the veggies with, or I mix it into the pan. 🙂
This looks so delicious. I love stir fry. I will try your quick recipe for sure. Thank you for sharing
Stir fry is one of my favorite go-to meals! I’ve tried having vegetarian ones but never really tried vegan – would love to try this recipe out someday!

This looks so nice! I’ve never added yellow capsicum (what you call pepper) to my stir fries before but I really like adding green and red ones! 🙂
Hope that your week is off to a good start 🙂
Your recipe looks absolutely delicious! I like that you can substitute other vegetables to make it your own. I would actually like to transition to a Vegan diet at some point. I’m glad to see there are plenty of tasty options to try. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve never even heard of black bean noodles but I definitely wouldn’t mind giving them a go. Perhaps when I next make stir fry then it would be a good choice!
It look very beautiful, I’m sure that it is very delicious.

As someone who doesn’t love tofu, this is such a great idea. The black bean noodles are something I’ve not tried yet!
I love making Stir Fry, it’s best way to use all vegetables and get a super nutritious meal out of it! Even better is that you can save it for the next day as well. I’m not sure I’ve tried black beans noodles before surprisingly, I usually opt for the clear noodles (not sure what they’re called!) or the ones that similar to them but not clear. Crunchy Stir Fry is the best, if it’s too soft it’s a no from me so most definitely going to be following this recipe to a Tee! I just noticed this takes less than 10 minutes to put together wow wow wow this recipe is an actual gift, can’t wait to make it!
Yummy! I have been plant based now for about 7 years and quick go-to recipes like stir frys, are my favorite! This looks delicious and will add it to my list to try☺️
Stir fry’s are one of my favourite meals, they are so yummy and I find them quite filling and really healthy. I will say though that I am glad that this meal doesn’t contain tofo because that isn’t one of my favourites! X
Oh my goodness I do love a stir fry! It’s such a healthy dish and something which I need to cook more often! I think I’ll be trying your recipe Sophie! x

wow – this really looks incredible. I really love how comprehensive this recipe is in providing various sources of protein. I feel like reading Vegan recipes like this makes me think much more thoughtfully about how I need to be better at balancing out my diet.
Love this! Stir fry is one of my favourite midweek meals – just so easy and tasty. This one looks great!
Sophie you read my mind! I’ve been trying to up my intake of protein and lessen the amount of carbs without losing flavor, this recipe is perfect! I never heard of black bean noodles but it sounds like a great way to sneak in protein for pasta dishes

This looks absolutely incredible! I love stir-fry and my husband and I are always try to include plant based meals in our daily life. I’ve never tried black bean noodles before (what a great source of protein!). This looks tasty and easy and I can’t wait to try it!
I love dishes full of proteins, I will try it:)
Mmmm this looks delicious but I hate bean sprouts, I might have to keep them out of the recipe hahaha
