Calling All Cooks! Does Anyone Cook Chinese Food At Home?

Pretty much from the minute I got pregnant I have had the worst chinese food cravings, usually stuff that's all gluten like egg rolls and lo mein. I would like to learn to make some of this stuff at home if it is possible. Does anyone make Chinese food at home? I know how to make stir fry. I mean gluten-free versions of noodle and fried dishes that you cannot get in gluten-free restaurants. Can anyone help?

I know you can buy rice noodles in the International Section of the Supermarkets. I hope you get some replies to your question. I would like to learn how to make something besides Stir-Fry.

Do you have a pf changs nearby?

If not, sometimes Chinese dishes that use a white sauce are gluten-free, but of course you'd have to ask.

Here are some recipes:

Someone also posted not too long ago about a website that sells gluten-free lo mein noodles. Can't find it though...

Congrats- I relate to the craving issue! If you can get yourself to an asian market, there are a wealth of options. Noodles made of rice or sweet potato(yup) are the clear-ish looking ones, but there are also noodles made of rice that are just straight sticks, that when cooked are indistinguishable from spaghetti, and are great for those chinese dishes that require a more substantial noodle. Use corn starch as a thickener, and find yourself some gluten-free soy sauce. If none is to be found in your area, Tamari or Tamarind sauce is a good alternative. Bragg makes a good one and can probably be found at your nearest health food store. Oh, and pick up some round rice paper, for making thai"summer" roll wraps- just like spring rolls, but not fried, Fillings can be anything your craving heart desires! Bon appetit!

I make this sweet and sour chicken recipe. It's really good, but I only use a 1/2 cup of cider vinegar, decrease the sugar, and increase the pineapple juice.

I went to the link for the egg rolls. they are sounding good but does any one have a recipe for an egg roll that does not use pork for those of us that cant have it. I also have been wanting to make these but just cant get a recipe that has NO pork or seafood.

Thanks,

Grump

I wonder if you could substitute ground chicken for the ground pork in that recipe...

We just had a chinese exchange student at our house and she cooked for us 3 times. I have a few good recipes that my family loves of my own too...

I'm happy to post, just gotta gather em together :D

I'll try to post later this afternoon, I have a recipe for Red Pork, Pepper Pork, Sweet & Sour Pork, Back to Pot Pork (okay, so you can sub chicken or beef for most of these LOL :D). I also have a recipe for egg drop soup. :D

I got a great Chinese Cook book from my library, I'll see if I can find the title (I've since returned it). But she had great recipes in there.

Some of the Sun-Bird mixes you buy at the grocery store are gluten-free.

I just made Sweet and Sour pork last night. It's great even if you're not a sweet and sour person.

I used red and yellow peppers instead of green

I also make the fried rice. I add a frozen peas and carrots mix, extra seasame oil, and shrimp or chicken.

The Beef and Broccoli is good too. Check gluten-free status yourself.

You can also stir fry veg. Just add soy sauce (La Choy is gluten-free - check for yourself) and seasame oil, a little red pepper and maybe some garlic or onion powder.

Congrats and good luck.

Thanks so much everyone for your help! I don't know if anyone looked at this link but spaghetti is mentioned a few times. Do they make gluten-free pasta?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?
