Korean Chili Paste Substitute?

Hi all

 

I love Korean food! And I've had to more or less give it up since, if you're lucky enough to find something gluten free, its still going to be full of soy. One of the staples in Korean cooking is gochujang, red pepper paste made with fermented soy (every packaged version I've ever seen ever also has wheat in it).

 

Would anyone have any clue if there's something similar out there made without soy (or gluten, of course)? At the japanese grocer here I recently noticed a bottle of "kimchi sauce" made with "broad beans" instead of soy. But I'm not sure if this was just a mistake, or whether another type of bean could be used instead of soy?

 

I anyone knows of a premade product that would be safe, or a recipe for something similar, that would be awesome. Is there such thing as non-soy miso?? Cause if so that might work as a substitute.

Something like siracha is similar, but just not the same. It's something about fermented beans that really makes it.

 

Anyway, just curious. Been craving some lately.

 

any other gluten/soy/egg free korean recipes also welcome (I make some pretty good sweet potato starch noodles with sesame oil on occasion).

 

Cheers!

Non-soy miso does exist! These guys make miso from chickpeas and from azuki beans! It's a start anyway!

Has anyone ever tried it?

I'm not  big  on  Asian  foods  but I do  have  one  or two I  enjoy. One  calls for  chili paste. I  couldn't  find  that  so I  used " Lee Kum Kee" brand  chili garlic  sauce  with success....ingredients: salted chili peppers, garlic, sugar,rice  vinegar, water, modified  corn starch, acetic acid....

what about this recipe, using your gluten-free, soy free  miso 

 

and gluten-free coconut aminos (for the soy sauce)?

 

I don't do soy either.

I think I saw this recipe. It looks like the most straight-forward/easiest to substitute.

 

First I have to get my hands on soy-free miso! (If I could edit the title of this topic, I would change it to that).

 

I use garlic chili sauces all the time, but they're not quite the same as korean red pepper paste. It has a very unique flavour that you don't really get in thai/vietamese cooking.

 

But chickpea MISO! Oooh how awesome would that be! I used to make miso soup for breakfast. I'll have to do a hunt of the city, or break down and order some.

I found chickpea miso!! It was easier to find than the masa harina I took 2 weeks to hunt down. Turns out there's a local operation (Tradition Miso) in Ontario that makes organic miso, and makes a chickpea one as well. I had miso soup for breakfast this morning! Tastes a bit more like hummus than regular miso, but it's pretty good. Dissolves easily (a bit of chunky bits but not much). TAKE THAT, SOY!

 

Next will be trying to make some gochujang with it.

      A Future Beyond the Gluten-Free Diet? Scientists Test a New Cell Therapy for Celiac Disease (+Video)

      I feel the same way. Looks like the research is being done in Switzerland. Thank you Scott for keeping us updated on the research!

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases...

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast. All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour). Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat...

      A little about me and my celiac disease

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you...

      Welcome to the forum, @McKinleyWY, For a genetic test, you don't have to eat gluten, but this will only show if you have the genes necessary for the development of Celiac disease.  It will not show if you have active Celiac disease.   Eating gluten stimulates the production of antibodies against gluten which mistakenly attack our own bodies.  The antibodies are produced in the small intestines.  Three grams of gluten are enough to make you feel sick and ramp up anti-gluten antibody production and inflammation for two years afterwards.  However, TEN grams of gluten or more per day for two weeks is required to stimulate anti-gluten antibodies' production enough so that the anti-gluten antibodies move out of the intestines and into the bloodstream where they can be measured in blood tests.  This level of anti-gluten antibodies also causes measurable damage to the lining of the intestines as seen on biopsy samples taken during an endoscopy (the "gold standard" of Celiac diagnosis).   Since you have been experimenting with whole wheat bread in the past year or so, possibly getting cross contaminated in a mixed household, and your immune system is still so sensitized to gluten consumption, you may want to go ahead with the gluten challenge.   It can take two years absolutely gluten free for the immune system to quit reacting to gluten exposure.   Avoiding gluten most if the time, but then experimenting with whole wheat bread is a great way to keep your body in a state of inflammation and illness.  A diagnosis would help you stop playing Russian roulette with your and your children's health.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases of testing, the blood antibody tests and the endoscopy with biopsy.  There is the option of genetic testing to see if you have one or both of the two genes known to provide the potential to develop celiac disease. It is not really a diagnostic measure, however, as 30-40% of the general population has one or both of these genes whereas only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But genetic testing is valuable as a rule out measure. If you don't have either of the genes, it is highly unlikely that you can have celiac disease. Having said all that, even if you don't have celiac disease you can have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms as celiac disease but does not involve and autoimmune reaction that damages the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Both conditions call for the complete elimination of gluten from the diet. I hope this brings some clarity to your questions.

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast.  All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they  contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour).  Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat gluten free bread with yeast and have no reactions.  Obviously, we have come to believe the issue is gluten not yeast.  Times continues to reinforce this as we are transitioning to a gluten free home and family.  I become quite ill when I consume even the smallest amount of gluten. How will my not having consumed breads/yeast/gluten for the better part of decades impact a biopsy or blood work?  I would love to know if it is a gluten intolerance or a genetic issue for family members but unsure of the results given my history of limited gluten intake.   I appreciate the input from those who have gone before me in experience and knowledge. Thank you all!

It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you can be sure will not get cross contaminated like a boiled egg, baked potatos, steamed vegies, fresh fruit. Yes, I know that doesn't sound as appetizing as pizza or a burger and fries but your health is at stake. I also realize that as a 14 year old you don't have a lot of control over where you eat out because you are tagging along with others or adults are paying for it. Do you have support from your parents concerning your need to eat gluten free? Do you believe they have a good understanding of the many places gluten can show up in the food supply?
