Finally...asian Food!

My favorite at my local Chinese restaurant is General Tso's chicken and I haven't gotten that quite figured out yet. And at least next week I'm going to do a vegetarian/detox diet so it'll be a while before I get that. But since I've got the "soy sauce" pretty close and I know how to make "chicken nuggets" I think I'll get it eventually

BUT...I finally made something that tastes like Asian food! And without gluten, soy and sesame that is not an easy thing!

I made a sauce of blackstrap molasses and balsamic vinegar. (About 2Tbsp molasses and 1-2 tsp of the vinegar). Then I added salt, fresh ground black pepper & crushed red pepper. Would probably be good with a little cinnamon or ginger too, but I don't think I added them this time.

Then I thinned it out with water to a thin soy sauce consistency.

I stirfried in safflower oil - fresh broccoli cut in small florets and water chestnuts.

In another pan, I browned ground beef (would be really good with chicken too)

Then I mixed those two together and poured the sauce over it and cooked it until the broccoli was soft enough.

Put it on bibb lettuce leaves (they were a bit small, so you might want to try somethlng larger...either iceberg or cabbage?) and wrap.

To go with it I mixed brown rice and frozen peas/carrots with a little bit of the same sauce and apparently I added more red pepper!

Yummy!!! :P

Oh, and btw, my mom had some. She's not got problems with gluten or soy, and she still loved it, unlike some of my creations!

For those of you who aren't allergic to pineapple, I think a bit of that would have been really good in this too.

Ooo...I just had a thought...anybody made gluten-free fortune cookies?

Your question about fortune cookies sparked my curiosity, so I did a search and found a recipe on this site:

https://www.celiac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodi...-57107041673.9e

I wonder if anyone sells them pre-made - would be great to bring along with me to P. F. Chang's or eat with my stir fry's at home. :)

I'll have to do a little experimenting as i don't use much corn and am allergic to eggs. But the basis sounds really good and pretty easy. Thanks :-)

Yellow Rose

I've actually done this with turkey, but would do it the same way for chicken. I can't have eggs either, so I make the flax seed egg replacement. Then I roll the turkey nuggets (cut breast cutlets to the right side) in that. Eggs would work if you can have them. Then I make a mixture of quinoa flakes and whatever gluten free flour i have (usually i use something other than quinoa as it tends to be a bit strong...amaranth or millet is the most likely for me to have) and coat the "egg" covered nuggets with that. Then heat oil in a frying pan and pan fry the nuggets. I don't "deep fry" but turn the nuggets on each side. At least in my mind this method soaks in less fat ;-) Yummy! I usually use olive oil, but it smokes A LOT so you'd probably want to use an oil with a higher temp tolerance.

Last time I made turkey nuggets, I mixed some agave nectar and dijon mustard for tasty sauce. Problem with the sauce is that I ended up eating more of the nuggets than I should have just to finish it. Funny, it didn't make me eat more spinach salad that I had put it on as a dressing. hmmm....

      Low iron and vitamin d

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer. Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks...

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result. I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned? Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous...

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.
