I have many friends who are either vegetarian or gluten-free. I’ll be trying to mark on my recipes how to adjust them for different diets, but this Vegetarian Chinese Rice Cake Noodle Recipe is one I thought needed to have a separate post. It’s such a rich and flavorful dish, you won’t even miss the meat or wheat.
