Menu Ideas for Vegetarian Chinese New Year

[LucyK]

Last year I made radish cake, nian gao and sticky rice. Any suggestion for items to add to my menu this year would be greatly appreciated?

These are great. Thanks. It's just for me and my husband, so it's not going to be a for a big group.

What about making some veggie dumplings? Long-life noodles with vegetables and no meat?

Is this for a dinner party or a more casual meal?
You can always make Buddha's Delight. Here is one recipe: http://chinesefood.about.com/od/chinesenewyear/r/buddhasdelight.htm
I know some kind of noodle dish is traditional. I like this easy vegetable chow mein recipe (http://www.recipezaar.com/Vegetable-Chow-Mein-344841) but there are many out there to choose from .
If your feeling ambitious, you might want to try Chinese Bean Curd Skin Rolls. I been brave enough to attempt this recipe yet. http://www.recipezaar.com/Chinese-Bean-Curd-Skin-Rolls-339958
I don't know if it is appropriate for New Year's, but I love Barbara Tropp's Pan-Fried Scallion & Chive Bread (Chong Yu Bing) and apparently chives symbolize eternity. http://www.recipezaar.com/pan-fried-s...
And for dessert, you can always do almond cookies.

We always had Fat Choy for New Year's. Also potatoes and bamboo shoots in brown bean sauce.

Lo han jai (Buddha's delight) is a traditional vegetarian New Year's dish.
