Chinese Food Recipes

[Guest Lindam]

Does anyone have any great Chinese food recipes? I have been looking everywhere and cannot find any.

I have my Chinese cookbooks and recipes and just use them substituting gluten-free soy sauce and gluten-free teriyaki sauce. Some recipes I can't make as they call for gluten ingredients but Pepper Steak, Beef and Broccoli, and some like that are fine. I need to find a way to make Kung Pao Chicken though as my recipe calls for Black Bean Sauce, Chili Paste and Hoison sauce which all have gluten. I'm scared to death to go to a Chinese restaurant now, so I bought the short grain rice and an electric wok and am having fun. You must keep a positive attitude and look on the bright side. (Think of how much less fat and sodium in the meals you make yourself!) But it is hard!

Aside from black bean sauce, I've had no real problems substituting gluten-free ingredients in Chinese recipes.

Most Chinese recipes calling for noodles can easily, and un-noticably be substituted with rice flour or tapioca noodles, which can also be found in Asian markets.

The gluten-free pantry on-line store has some gluten-free Hoisin sauce and for chili paste you can use Sambal.... I am almost sure its' gluten-free, but it's really, really spicy. I use it for soups sometimes to give it a kick, and for a gallon of soup, I only use about 1 tsp of the sambal. As far as the black bean paste goes, my mother in law has made her own, but I think it's rather time consuming because it has to ferment for a while, but my husband says that you can buy the fermented black beans, then pound them down yourself and add the garlic to your liking. I would assume you could only buy these at fairly large Asian markets though.
