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:

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 :-)

How do you make your chicken nuggets?

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....

      still struggling with cravings

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's so tough when you're doing everything right and still get hit with it. I'm glad you're figuring out a system that works for you—the peppermint tea and rehydration powders are smart moves. It sounds like you've really learned to listen to your body, and that's half the battle. Sticking to simple, safe food at home is the best way to build yourself back up. It's great you can take the time to rest properly. Thanks for sharing what works; it's a big help to others figuring this out too. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's bad enough to fight for a diagnosis and manage this disease, but to have your partner use it as a weapon against you is truly devastating. What you're describing isn't just a lack of support; it's abuse, full stop. Controlling your food and money is cruel, and his pleasure in your misery is chilling. Please hear this: the kindness from that woman at the food pantry is what you deserve. It's a glimpse of the real world, where people care. You deserve to eat, to heal, and to have peace. His actions are the biggest barrier to your health right now, and you are not broken—you are surviving in an impossible situation. Don't give up on that lifeline you've found.
