No kidding! I wish that had that in the states. I just called my husband & told him about that article. I think he wants to go to Taiwan now or wherever else they sell those buns.

I'd just like to know if the buns are made of rice flour or just regular rice pressed into a bun-shape and maybe mixed with other ingredients to hold its shape.

Or maybe they just use plain Japanese rice balls pressed into bun shape: Open Original Shared Link

(I'm getting hungry...)

wow, I hope they introduce those globally. good for people like us with intolerances!!

The only thing I just noticed is the date the article came out. Septemeber 28, 2005. more than a year ago.... If McDonald's wante to introduce those buns, you would think they might've done it already.

Serving a burger between two pressed rice patties certainly can be done.

Open Original Shared Link is a cutlet with miso, but no reason you can't press rice patties in a hamburger press. I've done it.

I just ordered and received a case of Ener-G tapioca hamburger buns (six packs in a case, four buns each for $17 and change) and they are not bad at all. Light! A little dry. But I had a killer burger on one and my husband agreed - good (he doesn't *have* to be gluten-free, lucky guy...)

I have not been impressed with most gluten-free breads, etc, but these are pretty good. Also, I sliced one in half and toasted like a bagel and smeared with cream cheese and it was great! Two mornings in a row... my husband tried a bite and said nice texture - even a little chewy. Not a heavy dense sort of bread, but like some of those lighter bagels you get at the shops. (of course no hole).

Anyway, check them out. I'm pleased with amazon .com - they have a whole gluten-free shopping page now.

Sounds interesting...can you be a little more descript or include directions as to how to do this? Thanks!

Put plastic wrap in a hamburger press. Put in still-warm cooked rice - regular rice, not parboiled, and definitely not instant. Cover with more plastic wrap. Press. If it's not full enough, use more rice.

But wouldn't you get sticky goo on your hands if you tried to eat this with your hands like a regular bun?

If your rice normally cooks up sticky or gooey, you will need to cook it with less water. Looking at the picture, the "buns" appear to be grilled.

That said, I've only made this open-faced and eaten it with a fork.

Hmmm. I always make Japanes (short-grain) rice in a Japanese rice cooker, and it's supposed to cooko up sticky. It doesn't work with less water--comes out hard. I wonder if they use long-grain rice for the buns?

I have used Japanese rice and long grain rice. They both have enough surface "stickiness" to stick together when compressed, but they have no "gooeyness". What I do is make all the rice into patties and refrigerate them with baking parchment between, which will make them really easy to handle.

I've never been to Japan, and I've never eaten at mosburger. Your mileage may vary.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Alibu, Migraines ran in my family as well.  Correcting my Thiamine insufficiency made a dramatic improvement in frequency and duration.   If you take Thiamine, B12 and B6 together, they have analgesic (pain relieving) properties.  Taking thiamine every day has cut down on their occurrence and severity for me.   Take Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  These forms get into the brain easily.  Magnesium Threonate gets into the brain easily, too, and helps thiamine work.  My gave a sigh of relief when I first took it, and no migraines. Yes, lowering histamine levels helps one feel better, too.  Vitamin C and B12 help reduce histamine.  A low histamine diet can help, too.  DAO supplements lower histamine, as well.  DOA is a digestive enzyme we can run short on.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @ehb   Great you're going to start the AIP diet!  I know it's scary and stressful, but you'll soon start feeling better.  It's a challenge, but you can make it.  Do ask for a Erythrocyte Transketolace test which tests for Thiamine level.   I hope your Vitamin D level is between 70 and 100 nmol/L.  In this optimal range, Vitamin D can act like a hormone and regulate the immune system.  Vitamin D 3 is the form that the body can utilize well.  I was prescribed the synthetic firm D2 and my body didn't like it.  I know getting my Vitamin D up in the eighties made a world of difference to me.  My depression improved and I felt so much better at higher levels.   I prefer Life Extension brand for many vitamins.  The important thing is to read the label and watch out for fillers like rice flour.  This may help. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By ehb · Posted

      @knitty kitty I have an appointment to go over the results tomorrow. Vitamin D was in the normal range. I’ve decided to start the gluten contamination elimination diet, while avoiding nightshades as recommended by the AIP. I am still hoping to get support from a nutritionist or advice from the doctor about supplements to make sure I’m getting enough nutrients. I’m still having a hard time sorting through all of the different brands and possible combinations

      confirmed via biopsy, quite depressed

      By cristiana · Posted

      We've definitely all had such thoughts.  But as Scott says, it does get easier with time.  I'm not sure where you are posting from but in England where I live, over the last ten years or so most things I missed at first now have gluten free substitutes.   I still miss Twix bars, and chocolate Penguins (a type of biscuit) but I'm hoping sooner or later someone will create a decent substitute for them! One thing that I remember my husband said to me when I was feeling down one day  was: "Why don't you try to think of all the things you can still eat, rather than the things you can't?"  The list is long, and it did help - sort of!

      Quaker Instant Grits, gluten-free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It looks like they are naturally gluten-free, but not labeled gluten-free. https://www.quakeroats.com/products/hot-cereals/grits/instant-grits-plain
