    Zakkokumai Gluten-free Multigrain Rice Blend

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    02/19/2015 - The Japanese make a dish called Zakkokumai, which is cooked Japanese rice and millet. Zakkoku just means “mixed grains”, and mai is rice. Commercial Japanese dry mixes often use barley, so it’s best to make your own. I’ve modified that a bit by adding quinoa to the bunch.

    Photo: CC--Makoko OtsukaIf you’re eating gluten-free because of celiac disease or gluten-intolerance, chances are you’re not getting enough fiber, or vitamins. If you’re like me, you may eat a lot of rice.

    One easy way to get a wider grain profile, and more nutrition, into your diet is to add gluten-free grains to standard brown, white or mixed rice.

    Ingredients:

    • 1 cup brown rice
    • 1 cup white rice
    • ¼ cup quinoa
    • ¼ cup millet
    • 5 cups water

    Directions:
    Rinse rice and grains in clean water.

    Place in pot with water and bring to a boil.

    Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until tender to taste, about 40 minutes.

    Other options include buckwheat, flax seed, sesame seed, poppy seed, black rice, wild rice, gluten-free oats, or any other gluten-free grain. Adjust cooking time and wage levels as needed.

    I like the advice, and, for me, it's a great way to get millet into my diet, by hiding it among other grains. I know it's supposed to be good for me, but, I hate it. To be fair, I think that's because the first time I had it, it was stale.

     

    The reason I am not giving a better rating to this article is that I didn't like the ending. It seemed like someone wanted to quickly finish it up and call it good, when there was a lot more information that needed to be given.

     

    Yes, we could substitute those other grains and seeds for the ones mentioned in the recipe, and, adjust the cooking time and wage (???) levels as needed, but, when we are talking about mixing grains that have different cooking times and water (wage) needs, how do we know what is needed?

     

    Do we just automatically mix them all in and cook them by the time needed for the one that generally takes the longest, thereby ending up with a weird grain pudding? Is that the point? Or, would it be better to add the proper amount of water for each one and then add them in, one at a time, in time for them to cook just the proper amount? And, if we did the latter, how much time needs to be added to make up for the fact that the grains were not all in during the "bringing to a boil" of the water?

     

    I'm all fine with weird pudding, by the way. However, I do know that flax seeds need to have some care taken and that people have killed themselves by cooking them wrong. I mean, you cook flax seeds wrong, you get paint brush cleaner! It's toxic. So ... I know there has to be some difference between cooking a mix with flax seed and cooking a mix with millet.

     

    I was hoping you'd go into that, more.

    This recipe comes to us from Ellen Switkes.
    3 lbs. fish - salmon, white fish, etc (use 2 or 3 kinds of fish, both fatty and lean, salmon makes pink fish balls, whitefish from the east coast is traditional, here in California I use cod and salmon.)
    3 large onions
    1 egg
    3 teaspoons salt (or more)
    ¼ cup potato starch
    lots of pepper
    Stock:
    Place fish skin/bones/head in a large pot with water to cover, add 2 carrots sliced thin and one onion sliced thin. Boil. Process all ingredients in food processor. Form fish balls either small or large as you like, drop into boiling stock and simmer for 2 hours. Remove fish balls to bowl, reduce stock, strain over fish and refrigerate. I like it when the stock gels a bit. Serve cold with horseradish.

    Celiac.com 05/15/2013 - Lemon chicken may be one of those Americanized Chinese dishes, like sweet and sour pork, and chow mein that have become a staple at nearly every Chinese restaurant in the country. Still, I love it. However, being gluten free, I have to be careful when dining out. Even if the restaurant doesn't use flour outright, there's always the possibility of cross contamination.
    One way I've resolved this tension is by learning how to make a delicious gluten-free Chinese-style lemon chicken using a corn-starch-based batter.
    In this delicious recipe, chicken is battered in egg and corn starch, then cooked until it's crispy and golden on the outside, tender on the inside. It is then covered with a sweet, tangy lemon sauce.
    The taste will rival your favorite Chinese restaurant...

    Celiac.com 08/13/2013 - These Thai-style beef and chicken skewers are a big hit at parties and barbecues. They taste great with peanut sauce, and will deliver big flavor and lots of smiles every time I make them.
    That said, this dish carries a peanut alert! Because of this, I always check ahead before bringing the more traditional version with peanuts and peanut sauce in any group situations. Depending on the situation, I will bring the substitute dipping sauce along with the peanut sauce, or just drop the peanuts altogether, as needed.
    That said, these are easy to make, delicious, and always a crowd-pleaser. Enjoy!
