i have this cookbook called The Noodle Shop Cookbook that i am getting rid of because most of the recipes are meat recipes. it does, however, have a small vegetarian section in the back. i am going to post my favorites in this thread before i get rid of the book. i hope you guys find some of these delicious and useful like i do and if you want any more that i didn't post feel free to check out the book yourselves.
here is the intro to the veggie section written by the author, Jacki Passmore:
"noodles are a useful and beneficial ingredient in the vegetarian diet. they offer a satisfying chewability and provide essential fiber and energizing carbohydrates. they can be adapted to many cooking styles and combined with all kinds of ingredients to make nourishing and delicious meals.
soba, the buff-colored Japanese buckwheat noodles are a particular favorite among vegetarian cooks, their special nutty taste suited to hot dishes, soups, and salads. imitation "egg" noodles, made without egg, are a boon for the vegan, while rice noodles are an excellent and easily digested substitute for rice or other carbohydrates in may menu applications.
chinese noodle makers also manufacture a limited range of wheat-starch noodles or imitation egg noodles flavored and colored with vegetable extracts. they look wonderful on the plate and have subtle and appealing flavor undertones.
i have selecated recipes from all over asia for this collection of vegetarian noodle dishes. they encapsulate a full range of asian flavors and include several deliciously refreshing salads, which could be served as a first course or as part of a wider menu of main courses in the asian style"
