I received a copy of this eBook from netGalley for a honest review.

Easy, quick noodle recipes. Both hot and cold dishes and soups. How to make your own noodles, too. Lots of yummy looking recipes.

All of my favorite words in one - noodles and vegan! Loved the inventive, thoughtful, and accessible recipes in these pages - a book every cook would gain inspiration from!

Thank you to NetGalley and The Experiment for the ARC!

Wanted to view this here before buying for library bc the subject is very specific but was pleasantly surprised! Can’t wait to try a few recipes.

I did not make any of the recipes in this so I can't speak to the accuracy of the recpes but I found that this book is not treading any new or interesting ground regarding vegan cuisine. Very basic.

A super book containing ideas for cooking with Soba, ramen, udon, pho noodles, including great photographs and cooking hints. Recommended.

Vegan noodles.

I think this is a book that definitely fulfills a need in our modern palate.
So many of us are eating vegan, but you don't have to be vegan to use this cookbook.
It was very handy and now I want to eat some vegan noodles.
Recommend.

A wonderful book with great recipes and meal ideas. Very well organized. My family and I tried out some of the recipes and we enjoyed them very much!

Thank you for allowing me to review this book. All opinions are my own.

First and foremost, thank you to everyone who allowed me to read this ARC of Oodles and Oodles of Vegan Noodles, including the author, publisher, and NetGalley.

One of the things I did like about this cookbook: it was visually stunning! The photography and the design were amazing and made me want to cook all of the recipes in the hopes that I too could replicate these photographs. I also liked that it was on the shorter side of cookbooks, it stuck to what it set out to do and did not deviate from the theme. It was solely about noodles and being vegan. The title of the book was what drew me to this cookbook in the first place. I thought it was fun and without knowing anything about the author, it let me know that this was going to be an interesting read. Since I am a vegetarian, I thought it would be the perfect book to help me work on my abysmal cooking skills. While I did not end up making any of the recipes, I did reread this book multiple times, hoping that some of its influence would leak into my head.

What I found difficult about this book was access to some ingredients not available at the local grocery store or even more distant ones. I found one recipe in particular that I really wanted to cook, however, I could not find the ingredients anywhere but Amazon and they were in bulk, as opposed to the teaspoon I needed. In order to make one recipe, it was not easy access. It would definitely be a labor of love and hard on your wallet. I also did not like that the recipes did not have a way to learn to make the noodles you needed for the different recipes, it just said to use store-bought.

The book lives up to the promise: A large variety of vegan noodle recipes, beautifully photographed, and easy to follow. Of note, there is no nutrition information and of course these aren't recipes if you want to lose weight or necessarily eat healthier since they contain plenty of salt, oil, coconut fats, sugar, and simple carb non whole grain noodles. As such, this is definitely vegan comfort food. But what we do have is quite tasty and the book is nicely laid out.

Contents: Pantry staples (noodles, seaweeds, flours/sugars/spices, nuts/seeds, Asian condiments, produce, utensils); Basics, Cold Noodle Soups, Cold Noodle Salads, Sauteed Noodles, Hot Noodle Soups, and then More Noodle Recipes. Recipes include: biang biang noodles, rabokki, kimchi udon, vegetable dashi, 'oyster' and 'fish' sauces, homemade udon noodles, sudachi sobe, summer rolls, rolled rice noodles, noodles with scallion infused oil, hakka noodles, pad thai, Vietnamese pho, shoyu ramen, curry udon, ultimate mushroom ramen, and many more.

Beyond the basic recipes for staples like vegetable/mentsuyu broth, nearly every recipe has a really nice photograph. The format for each is as follows: large title (with Asian name), introduction in italics, large chunky steps, and then on the right are the ingredients, sorted by type. At the bottom are tips.

For those not worried about weight or being super healthy, these are excellent recipes that don't require a lot of hard-to-find items. The directions are a bit chunky - I always prefer small numbered steps rather than 2-3 huge paragraphs (I know authors do this to make the recipe look 'easy' but it still makes it harder to prepare).

In all, a very nice book from the 19 year old author. Well worth the time for noodle lovers.

Oodles and Oodles of Vegan Noodles contains lots of mouth-watering Asian noodle dishes that are all vegan. I plan to try almost every recipe in the book! They all look amazing. The photographs are so enticing and definitely add to the reading experience. All of the dishes seem pretty quick and easy to make which is a huge plus for me. I can't wait to make some vegan noodle recipes from this book!

Thanks to The Experiment and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this yummy book!

Super interesting. I never thought of a cold noodle soup before this book. And I know it’s vegan (it says it right in the title) but I didn’t look at any of the recipes and think wow it’s vegan.

This is a great easy vegan cookbook for any level of cook. Vegan Noodles has a fantastic ingredient list with good cooking instructions and solid recipes. I made a couple of the recipes and each one was a smash. Looking forward to trying out more and buying this book when it gets published. We will be ordering this for our bookstore!

Oodles and Oodles of Vegan Noodles is a plant-based, pan-asian noodle cookbook written by Cheynese Khachame, featuring over 50 recipes for vegan noodle dishes including hot and cold soups, sautéed noodles, cold noodle salads and more.

The recipes in this book were a bit too complex for me and most of them listed somewhere between 20-30 ingredients. Many of them called for homemade infused oils, broths and condiments, which would need to be made anywhere from 30 minutes to 30 hours ahead of time.

The photos were beautiful, the food looked delicious, and there was a great variety of dishes in the book.

I can see how this could be a great resource for someone who cooks this food often and is looking for vegan alternatives, but for anyone picking up the book to try something new it would definitely not be the place to start.

Oodles and Oodles of Vegan Noodles is an excellent Asian cookbook, one whose dishes have so much flavor, eaters will not miss the meat. Not every dish has an accompanying photograph, which is a shame because the recipes are so vibrant.

The cookbook starts with Pantry Staples, including an explanation of different noodles, nuts and seeds, and Asian condiments, all with photographs for easy identification. The recipes themselves start with the Basics, such as Soup Stock and Homemade Udon Noodles. Next comes Cold Noodle Soups, with dishes such as Noodle Soup with Kimchi. The third recipe section is called Cold Noodle Salads, including such recipes as Soba Salad with Spicy Peanut Dressing and Rolled Rice Noodles. This is followed by Sauteed Noodles, with enticing dishes such as Mixed Vegetables with Glass Noodles and Pad Thai. The next chapter is Hot Noodle Soups, including delicious meals like Miso Ramen, Curry Udon, and The Ultimate Mushroom Ramen. Finally, the cookbook wraps up with More Noodle Recipes, with finished dishes like Biang Biang Noodles and Crispy Noodles with Sauteed Vegetables.

Overall, the recipes could be adaptable to all ways of eating. That being said, I do with the author had included substitutions. For instance, I would have liked to see a note with appropriate changes for wheat noodles or soy sauce. Some who follow vegan eating may also have issues with eating gluten. In my experience, not all noodles work well with all dishes. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with Oodles and Oodles of Vegan Noodles and many readers will be as well.

Disclaimer: I was given an Advanced Reader's Copy by NetGalley and the publisher. The decision to read and review this cookbook was entirely my own.

I love exploring vegan cuisine, and my family loves noodles, so I was glad to cook from this book. There aren’t a lot of bells and whistles in Cheynese Khachame’s vegan cookbook Ooodles of Vegan Noodles. In her brief introduction, she notes that she loves to veganize recipes, and is drawn to Asian food. Thus, oodles of noodles! There’s a good section on Pantry Staples, and then it’s right into the recipes. I have to note the photography here: it was wonderful, and each recipe has a bright and appetizing photograph. I chose two dishes to make.

Korean Cucumber Kimchi:

I make a more traditional cabbage kimchi, and love it. It’s good for the palate and the microbiome! Branching out, I thought I’d try this cucumber kimchi. It was so simple to put together, and I have the Mason Top brand of fermenting lids, so I was ready to go. It fermented for three days, but interestingly, I didn’t get the vigorous fermentation that I normally get with my regular kimchi. I suspect this is entirely due to the vegan recipe and absence of shrimp paste. I was slightly disappointed by the lack of true funky fermented taste and the cucumbers lacked bite. But it tasted fresh and it will make a good condiment that will last for months in the fridge.

Summer Rolls with Spicy Noodles:

This was a fairly easy recipe but it takes time because of all the components and wrapping the rolls. There’s a Spicy Sauce that goes into the noodles, and is used as an accompaniment.

This Spicy Sauce needs its own paragraph! It’s honestly more of a paste, but we spooned it on to the rolls liberally and it was so satisfying. My daughter started slathering it on her carrot sticks and was in heaven. It’s mildly spicy and salty and perfect. It is the knock-it-out-of-the-park winner so far in the book, and I’ve already made it again! I keep it in the fridge to put on, well, everything. I even put it on my Neapolitan pizza (sorry, Italy...).

Overall, this is a basic, good cookbook for vegans and, I’d dare say, omnivores as well. If you’re not familiar with Asian ingredients, then it’s a fun and easy way to learn, because the recipes aren’t difficult.

Thanks to @netgalley and @theexperiment for a gifted copy.

Yum! This looks like a terrific cookbook and I’ll be buying a several copies as gifts. Love the section with recipes for vegan versions of basic sauces. And then a wide range of Asian cold and hot noodle and soup dishes. Beautifully photographed and well written recipe directions.

What did I not like about this book? Nothing! The pictures were outstanding making the mouth water while turning every page. It was an encyclopedia of all things noodles and their ingredients. The author has painstakingly laid out everything you wanted to know about noodles and then some. I can't rave enough about this book. The recipes were extensive and covered vegan options for simple pantry items like "fish sauce", hoisin sauce and others. I have every manner of vegan cookbook, but this one is a definite must in my kitchen. The recipes are authentic, the pictures outstanding, and it will be a favorite in anyone's kitchen.

Noodles are the best! This book presents a good variety of East Asian flavored recipes all with noodles or in service of noodles (Make my own chili crisp? Yes, please.)

It’s nice to see a Pantry/Ingredients section with such an appealing layout. The photos are so helpful. While I regularly use kombu and nori, I didn’t previously know what wakame looked like. I love that important non-vegan sauces are noted in the pantry section with page numbers for the vegan recipes later in the book.

This is a book for newish cooks and for those who are ready to make their own noodles. Khachame does an excellent job of introducing us to new ingredients while also providing substitutions. Directions are clear, the layout useful and the pictures enticing.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC of this book.
I did like this. This was a book of many, many Asian noodle recipes, many of them soups. They are interesting, and I found several I would likely love. But I am not a huge soup eater, and a lot of the recipes seemed to have similar flavorings. Still, the ones in here do look good. Midwestern small town cooks may struggle to find some ingredients.

As a vegan who’s obsessed with noodles, I can’t recommend this recipe book enough. Since I became vegan a year ago, I’ve been on the hunt for a really good vegan recipe book, and this book is the one (for me). The recipes are easy to follow, and taste really great. (I’ve only made a few at the time of this review, and I enjoyed them all). So if you’re vegan (or not) and love noodles, I highly recommend checking out this recipe book.
