I too am looking for good hot vegetarian stuff. My son does not eat meat
or cheese and likes hot food. Boy it is hard to find recipes. Does any
one have any ideas WHERE TO LOOK ON THE NET FOR HOT VEGETARIAN? I have
been serfing for a while now with little luck. He just bought a cupple
incendiary hot sauces and I do not know how to use them under the
vegetarian constriction.

Here are a cupple recipes that I use right now for J.B. The first is one
I made myself, cuz I really like soft tofu. I would suggest for those
who don't like tofu to try differnt brands and leavels of firmness.
There may be one that appleals more than others.
