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.
How To Make Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff – Step by Step
You will find full instructions and measurements in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a summary of the process to go along with the process photos.
- Put your pasta on to cook according to your package instructions. And while that’s cooking, you can start your sauce.
- Add vegan butter to a pot along with chopped onions and sauté until the onions are softened.
- Add sliced mushrooms and crushed garlic and fry until the mushrooms are softened.
- Add all purpose flour and fry the mushrooms with the flour for around 1 minute.
- Add vegetable stock and stir until combined.
- Then add soy sauce, dijon mustard and vegan sour cream and simmer until thickened.
- Serve with the pasta and some chopped chives.
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
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.
Keep leftovers in the fridge where they will keep very well for a few days (3-4).
Yes, it is freezer friendly if you want to freeze it.
