Author’s Note
Rice noodles are popular in the cuisine of Eastern and South-Eastern Asia and are generally only lightly cooked to retain a slightly chewy texture. However, all sorts of noodles are used in East Asian cookery, and although some varieties contain egg and are not suitable for vegans, most are perfect for vegetarian dishes. Mirin has a distinctive sweet-sour flavor and is easy to fine in supermarkets and speciality food stores but you can achieve good results with a splash of sweet sherry, or cider vinegar that has been sweetened with a little sugar.
