    Sweet and spicy honey sriracha stir fry - it's sweet, it's spicy, it's salty, it's unbelievably delicious! Choose veggies that soak up the sauce, and serve with noodles or rice. Vegetarian, and easily made vegan!

    Ever since I discovered sriracha last year (yes, I'm well behind the times), I can't stop putting it on anything and everything. I'm not quite yet at the stage of wanting to carry around a sachet of the stuff in my handbag, but it does sound tempting. If you've not tried it yet, you definitely should - although if you can't find it, this sweet and spicy honey sriracha stir fry could be made with a different hot sauce instead. Make sure you go for a nice and spicy one!

    I don't think I will ever buy a shop-bought stir fry sauce again - they're so easy to make! This one's got honey, soy sauce, sriracha, and a dash of Chinese five spice. It's got a little bit of everything - it's sweet, it's salty, and it's super spicy. Everything you could want in a tasty stir fry. Of course, you can adjust the quantities each time depending on what you fancy, but I think this recipe is pretty perfect. It's tempting to drink it straight from the bowl (though I fear it would be a bit less delicious that way).

    I kept this stir fry really simple with aubergine, courgette and mushrooms (for you American folk, that's eggplant, zucchini, and... mushrooms). Use whatever veg you like, but I like how these three vegetables are quite 'meaty' (for lack of a better word), and soak up all the flavours in the sauce like tiny little sponges. If you want to add a bit more protein, tofu would be great - make sure fry it up until it gets nice and crispy, like I did here.

    I served my honey sriracha stir fry with some skinny egg noodles, but rice would be great too - anything to soak up that amazing sauce.

    Scatter a few sesame seeds and some fresh coriander on top to transform this super easy dinner into something really pretty.

    Is it weird to call a stir fry pretty?

    Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
    • 1 aubergine (eggplant), diced
    • 1 courgette (zucchini), diced
    • ~ 6 mushrooms, diced
    • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
    • 1 tablespoon honey or agave nectar
    • 1 tablespoon sriracha
    • ¼ teaspoon Chinese five spice
    • Black pepper
    • 200 g dried noodles (I used egg noodles)
    • To serve: fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped; sesame seeds

    Instructions

    • Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok, and add the diced vegetables. Cook over a medium heat, stirring regularly, for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are fairly soft.
    • Meanwhile, combine the soy sauce, honey, sriracha, five spice, and a generous amount of black pepper in a small bowl, and mix thoroughly (alternatively, you can shake it all up in a small jar).
    • Add the stir fry sauce to the pan, and mix well. Cook for another 5 minutes, until the sauce has reduced to become thick and sticky.
    • Boil the noodles in a separate pan, then drain (they usually only take a few minutes, but follow the instructions on the packet). Add them to the stir fry, and mix well.
    • Serve the stir fry topped with sesame seeds and fresh chopped coriander.

      You always do the most amazing things with aubergines! Your sticky aubergine is a firm favourite and we make it all the time, so I am absolutely going to try this sriracha recipe.

      This is sooooo scrumptious! Thank you for the recipe, Becca :-)

      For the recipe, I did omit the zucchini and doubled up on the eggplant. Of course, I just had to add garlic LOL

        Sriracha is really popular in the US so I was excited to find it in the UK a while back - it's pretty easy to find in supermarkets nowadays :) Give it a try, it's really tasty!

      I love a good stir fry and this looks so easy! I am going to make this but I am going to use different veg since I dont really care for eggplant and can take or leave zuchini . My friends always laugh at me saying I am the worst vegetarian because there are a number of vegetables that I dont actually like! I will use broccoli and cauliflower instead and it will be delicious! Thanks for another great recipe!
