Chicken Vicious (super-spicy Asian Chicken)

I've been craving chinese food recently, so I tried this recipe that I found on Allrecipes

I cut the vinegar to 1 cup and used brown sugar instead of regular.

It's so good! Super, super spicy, but sweet at the same time.

Thank you for the recipe!!! Chinese food was the one thing I was really bummed out about not being able to eat anymore. I just started my gluten free diet on the 28th of September. My biopsy also came back negative but they told me to do the diet anyway. When I was reading your symptoms of lack of concentration...etc I realized that I had all of that on top of the text book Celiac Disease Symptoms. I just always thought it was from my medication...who knew.

I know. Isn't this a bizarre situation we've all found ourselves in?

I just bought Chinese Food for Dummies. It's written by Martin Yan from the Yan Can Cook (cooking show on PBS). He also has a website with a few recipes www.yancancook.com . He even has recipes for making sauces like sweet and sour sauce.

Just remember to read labels on ingredients and get gluten-free soy sauce. La Choy is gluten-free, but I prefer San-J Wheat Free Tamari Soy Sauce, low sodium. They also have soy sauces with wheat, so make sure and double check.

I was bummed about losing chinese food too, but when I started thinking about it, in the back of chinese restaurants is usually a very skilled staff, with minimal equipment and minimal premade ingredients. So it's basically all homemade food. It's just not how people in mainstream America are used to cooking. Plus it looks so labor intensive that it's just easier to pick it up from the local restaurant.

I've found with food overall that there's not much that can't be made gluten-free. I've gotten to the point where I get regular cookbooks and just sub whatever I need to sub. Don't even think about it much anymore. Whenever you're wondering about something that you want a substitute for, just post a new subject and 9 times out of 10, you'll get at least a few ideas and advice.

I hope you keep feeling better. My GI symptoms are what drove me to try and figure all of this out, but now when I get glutened I almost never get GI symptoms other than some bloating. I'm usually brain-fogged, headachy and emotional.

Like you said, who knew?
