The best creamy vegan mushroom stroganoff – Fit Foodie Nutter

I’ve been making this creamy vegan mushroom stroganoff at home for as long as I can remember but I have no idea why I never thought of sharing the recipe on my blog. In my mind, I thought it was too simple of a recipe to share. However, as I’m all about easy, quick and ‘no-frills’ recipes, I thought I’d put a quick real time video of this creamy vegan mushroom stroganoff on my Instagram reels last week and to my surprise, I received so many messages asking for the recipe, that I had to hop onto the blog to share the recipe.

It’s a great recipe for meal prep & making in advance.
This recipe only calls for a handful of key ingredients, which makes it a budget-friendly version.

WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED?

Extra virgin olive oil (you can use any oil of your preference: coconut oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower oil)
Mushrooms – I used chestnut mushrooms but you can also a mixed variety of mushrooms for extra flavours
Onion & garlic
Rice milk – you can sub with any milk of your choice. Nut milk or soya milk would work well too. If using soya milk, just make sure you use sugar free version, otherwise the stroganoff will taste quite sweet.
Corn flour, which acts as a thickening agent for the sauce. You can also use arrowroot flour (starch).
Dry/fresh herbs: oregano or thyme work really well with mushrooms. I like adding bay leaves for extra flavour.
Spices: smoked paprika for a subtle smokey flavour, chilli flakes for a little spicy kick
Nutritional yeast flakes to add an extra layer of savory flavour. If you haven’t got yeast flakes to hand, you can use a teaspoon of Dijon mustard.
Vegetable stock (just make sure you’re using non-animal version if catering for vegan diet).
Salt & pepper

HOW LONG WILL THE MUSHROOM STROGANOFF KEEP IN THE FRIDGE?

If you’re making this recipe ahead of time, you can cook it the day before. Once you’ve cooked the mushroom stroganoff, let it cool down completely. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate overnight. To reheat, either use a microwave or re-heat on the stove in a pan. If you find the sauce is a little too thick, just add hot water, a little at a time, until you reach the desired consistency. To thicken the sauce, add more cornflour. If adding more cornflour, mix a teaspoon of cornflour with a little cold water in a separate small bowl & then add the mixture to the pan. This way you’ll avoid clumps of cornflour in your sauce.
Making the mushroom stroganoff for a meal prep? It’ll keep in the fridge in an airtight container for 3 to 5 days.

CAN I FREEZE MUSHROOM STROGANOFF?

Yes you can. You can either freeze it in an airtight container or zip lock bag. It’ll keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. To defrost the vegan mushroom stroganoff, take it out of the freezer the night before and keep it refrigerated overnight. When ready to cook, re-heat it in the microwave or in a frying pan on the stove.
