Although I've used shrimp in this recipe, you can easily substitute it with chicken or tofu for a vegan version. You can also add in any veggies of your choice - bok choy, broccoli, cabbage and snow peas are some of my favourite choices.
I've used Spaghetti noodles here, but I also love using fresh udon noodles in this recipe. To make it gluten free, buckwheat or soba noodles work great as well.
