Chinese New Year's Menu

I have been craving Chinese food since going gluten-free over a year ago, especially the American-Chinese that everyone gets in the restaurants over here. I regularly cook Asian cuisine, especially Japanese and Indian so maybe that’s why it had to be American-Chinese, rather than more authentic fare. Every month or so a real food marathon is on and so this weekend I went all out, some of which will inevitably land in the freezer. I made Chinese egg rolls and wontons for soup, pan-frying and deep-frying, using Bette Hagmann’s pasta recipe, which is a real delight to work with. Teriyaki chicken, fried shrimp in batter, scallion pancakes and crab toast to round out my idea of a puu puu platter. Hot and sour soup, egg drop soup, tea eggs, steamed buns and congee, a gingery sesame-garlic chicken, fried fish, vegetable lo mein, mu shu, rice, tea, pickles and a fresh fruit salad for dessert and some beef fried rice for the leftovers. The only snag that I ran into was with the mu shu and scallion pancakes. Using traditional recipes, I found that Hagmann’s recipes for gluten-free and light bean flour did not work at all, so after wasting a bit of the scallion pancakes, returned both doughs to the food processor and made them into pancake batters using a little beaten egg and more water for the scallion pancakes and a bit of xanthan gum, water and some oil for the mu shu.

Bragg’s liquid aminos, available at health food stores, is my soy sauce of choice and it comes in a big bottle. :)

I feel normal again now and can go back to eating a healthier life style of Asian and other cuisines, but sometimes, ya just gotta have that grease. If anyone would like recipes, I’d be happy to post!

Yes, a wonderful meal, I made rice paper spring rolls, but do soooo much miss won ton wrappers, how did you make those? and also how did you make the buns? There was an earlier thread from "Men in Trees" where a character made gluten free dumplings...oh please do tell!

That's interesting about the "Men in Trees" episode...

Here's how I made my steamed buns and wonton/eggroll skins. I do think the bao recipe could use a little tweaking in the future, but they still taste darn good:

This is an adaptation of the Frugal Gourmet’s recipe. It makes a lovely Asian hamburger with the addition of bulgogi and optionally, various other condiments.

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.

      Thank you! What do you recommend in the next 7 weeks until I see my Doctor?  Just start my Gluten free diet?

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
