This Hoisin Cauliflower & Coconut Rice Noodles recipe is better than takeout! Coconut rice noodles are topped with crispy cauliflower & roasted brussels sprouts.
Saucy roasted cauliflower, crispy shredded brussels sprouts and coconut noodles – this Hoisin Cauliflower & Coconut Rice Noodles recipe is better than takeout and the perfect meal to make in January. You get that takeout taste, but you know exactly what’s in it. Healthier and delicious!
Step One: Roast the Cauliflower
You are going to want to make this roasted cauliflower all of the time! It is saucy and crispy. Just totally delicious. For the sauce you’ll need:
- avocado oil
- low sodium soy sauce
- hoisin sauce
- ketchup
- garlic powder
- ginger powder
Add all of the cauliflower sauce ingredients to a bowl and whisk to combine. Add the cauliflower florets and toss to coat evenly. Transfer to a baking sheet and place in the oven for 15 minutes.
Step Two: Make the Brussels Sprouts
Once the cauliflower is in the oven, you can prep the brussels sprouts.
To a baking sheet add shredded brussels sprouts (you can buy them pre-shredded or do it yourself), sesame oil and soy sauce. Give them a good toss.
Once the cauliflower has roasted for 20 minutes, pull them out of the oven and flip. Put the cauliflower AND the brussels sprouts back in the oven. Roast for another 10 minutes. The cauliflower should be slightly charred and the sprouts should be crispy.
Step Three: Make the Coconut Rice Noodles
I am in LOVE with these rice noodles. I made a version of them in my ebook and I have been hooked ever since.
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the vermicelli rice noodles and cook according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water.
Heat some sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion & garlic and cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the noodles, coconut milk & soy sauce and toss to combine. Leave on low heat until ready to serve.
Step Four: Assemble & Serve
To serve, layer each bowl with noodles, brussels sprouts and cauliflower. Top with sesame seeds & green onion and dig in.
You get a little sweetness from the noodles. The cauliflower is crispy and sticky. And the brussels sprouts have the best crunch.
If you have any leftovers, I like to reheat the veggies in the air fryer to bring back that crunch.

Every ingredient was delicious but I feel it needs some kind of actual sauciness to it. It’s pretty dry. I’ll also increase the time for the cauliflower so it gets crispy. (Maybe I’ll make double hoisin sauce and mix some coconut milk into it for sauce)

I don’t know where this dish was going. The flavors did not come together, I felt like the noodles were dry and could have benefited from more coconut milk. The sauce covering the cauliflower was strange. And the sesame on the brussels tasted too raw. Just my opinion, I do see others have given it positive remarks so maybe try it for yourself.

This was a 10/10. Used 1 lb of frozen cauliflower defrosted and sliced my own brussels sprouts. Absolutely delicious!

Just made this for dinner Monday and it was delish! I followed the recipe exactly as written and my only complaint is that 15min didn’t seem like long enough for the brussel sprouts. Could be my oven though- next time I would bake for longer. Definitely worth the extra pans to make this!
