    Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff

    The most delicious vegan mushroom stroganoff ever! It’s ready in 30 minutes, bursting with flavor and made with vegan sour cream.

    This vegan mushroom stroganoff is so good. It has all that mushroom flavor you can dream of with that perfect stroganoff tang from some homemade vegan sour cream.

    I basically looked at traditional (meat) recipes for stroganoff and went with a pretty classic way of making this dish, just minus the meat and dairy. And really, even your omni friends and family won’t mind eating this, they really won’t. 

    It’s creamy and rich and everything a stroganoff is supposed to be. 

    It’s also really quick and easy and comes together in around 30 minutes. So it’s a meal you will want to repeat many times over.

    Ingredients You’ll Need:

    Ingredient Notes

    • Flat pasta shapes like linguine or pappardelle or wide fettucine are great to serve with this as they soak up the sauce nicely. But you can really use any pasta. 
    • Cremini mushrooms are great for this meal, they’re also known as baby bella’s, portobellini mushrooms or brown button mushrooms. White button mushrooms would also work fine for this.  
    • Dijon mustard works so great for flavor in this meal but you can also use any prepared yellow mustard.
    • Vegan sour cream. I used a full batch of our homemade vegan sour cream but if you want to use a store-bought vegan sour cream then you can. Just use 1 cup (240ml). 
    • Strain your vegetable stock if it has little bits of dehydrated vegetables in it. Those little bits of veg affect the overall creamy look of this delicious dish.

    Vegan Sour Cream Notes

    • Apple cider vinegar – provides the tang for this sour cream.
    • Nutritional yeast – adds flavor but can be omitted if needed.
    • Lemon juice – can be freshly squeezed or bottled.

    Top Tip: As mentioned above, you can make up a batch of your own homemade vegan sour cream as we did, or, if you prefer to buy a ready-made vegan sour cream, you can simply use 1 cup.

    Chef’s Tips

    If you’re making the vegan sour cream from scratch, then prepare it before you start. It’s quick to make, but you want to have that ready when you start assembling the recipe.

    If your blender is a weaker model, then you may also need to soak your cashews beforehand so just bear that in mind. If you have a strong blender like a Vitamix or Blendtec then there is no need to soak the cashews first.

    If you do want to soak the cashews, then add them to a bowl and pour over boiling hot water from the kettle. Leave to soak for 15 minutes.

    Vegan Stroganoff Q&A

    Can you make it gluten-free?

    You can use a gluten-free all purpose flour blend instead of regular flour in this recipe. You’ll also want to make sure your soy sauce is gluten-free or use tamari instead. And, of course, you’ll need to serve it with gluten-free pasta. 

    How to store it?

    Keep leftovers in the fridge where they will keep very well for a few days (3-4).

    Can you freeze it?

    Yes, it is freezer friendly if you want to freeze it.

    Notes

    1. Cremini mushrooms are also called portobellini mushrooms, baby bella mushrooms or brown button mushrooms. You can also use regular white button mushrooms in this recipe.
    2. If your vegetable stock has pieces of dehydrated vegetables in it then it’s best to strain it first. 
    3. If you make our homemade vegan sour cream then just use the full batch of it in this recipe. 
    4. We used papardelle pasta in this recipe (wide flat pasta noodles), but you can use any pasta that you like.
    5. If you’d like to make this meal gluten-free then serve it with gluten-free pasta and use a gluten-free all purpose flour blend instead of regular flour. Also make sure your soy sauce is gluten-free or switch it for tamari instead.
    6. The time for this recipe does not include the time spent making the vegan sour cream if you’re using the homemade version.
    7. Nutritional information is for everything including the pasta and a full batch of homemade vegan sour cream.
    8. This recipe was first published in May 2019. It has been updated with lots of extra tips but the recipe itself is unchanged.

      “Wow, delicious” were the first words my S.O. uttered after tasting this, and I agreed. Fresh is always better, but the organic canned mushrooms I had on hand from Costco are really quite good and made this even faster to make. Thanks for another great comfort food recipe!5 stars

      Delicious! though, the two times ive made this it didn’t really thicken up… any suggestions? adding more flour? Im wondering if anyone else had problems with this?… otherwise, I could have something to do with me blending the onions before adding, because I hate the texture of onions… so I have to make it into more of a cream. Thanks for any input.

        Hi! I don’t know if it would have anything to do with the onions. Are you making the cashew sour cream from our recipe or are you using a different sour cream? Our version thickens up a lot but that has a lot to do with the cashews in the sour cream as they really do thicken things up. You could definitely use more flour to make it thicker, but also it’s not a problem if it’s more saucy. 🙂
