Chinese Food!

Ok, so I'm a Chinese food NUT. I seriously have to eat it about once a WEEK or at LEAST every 10 days, or I start throwing things. :rolleyes:

Now I normally get the sweet and sour chicken....and I HAVE found a recipe for gluten free tempura (traditionally, they used rice flour...NOT wheat flour...who knew!?!?!)....but this week, I simply was NOT ready to tackle that one!

I started thinking and googling...I decided on Cashew chicken.

Ok, I never use measuring spoons and the like, unless I'm baking...so everything is approximate on this...besides, I didn't feel like it made QUITE enough food...it BARELY fed 3 adults....next time I'm going to make a little more.

Ok, so I used 3 chicken breasts...cut into strips before I sauteed them.

I sauteed them in peanut oil for that Chinese flavor that we all adore so very very much!

I also sauteed about a half cup of cashews.

Then I mixed chicken broth, gluten free soy sauce, cornstarch, salt & pepper, and MSG (I KNOW it's BAD, but you GOTTTTTA have it in Chinese food!) *sheepish face*

I took the chicken and the cashews out of the skillet when they were finished cooking and added the liquids, stirring until it thickened. (NOT very long!)

Then I added the chicken and cashews BACK into the sauce and added chunks of pineapple.

O.M.G!!! It was SO GOOD! I was so surprised at how CLOSE it was to the cashew chicken that we used to order from the local Chinese delivery place!

Oh, and I'm not a big fan of Chinese veggies, but I'm SURE that they would spice this up QUITE NICELY...should you be so inclined to add them. :D

I sincerely HOPE that some Chinese Takeout ADDICT like myself stumbles upon this and MAKES IT! I canNOT get over how good it was! Enjoy!

I recently stumbled on a recipe that I love. Basically you stir fry whatever you want, marinate your meat in this:

1/4 Cup Wheat free Soy or Tamari Sauce

1/4 Cup of water

1/4 Cup of sweetener (such as honey, if you use it)

2 cloves of garlic

1-2 Tbl of Cornstarch mixed with water to thicken marinade later.

At the end I pour in the left over marinade and add enough of the cornstarch to get it thickened.

It tastes just like House Special Chicken from Pickup Stix.

Sometimes I skip the marinating time or just marinate while I'm stir-frying the veggies, and it doesn't seem to be a big issue.

      Thanks! I am currently trying B1 out on its own. I tried many brands of B-complex and they always make me feel nauseous and tired. I think I may have to try taking each B vitamin on its own.

      Are you supplementing any vitamins?  Recently added medications? the ones that helped me the most noticibly was increasing vitamin D blood level to 80 ng/ml and Iodine to 500 mcg once or twice a day, Thiamine, Choline, and Iodine, B6 speeds up gastric motility, gastric motility, which is the movement of food through the stomach, is primarily achieved through peristalsis. Moving food faster helps bloating. 10,000 IU vitamin D 500 mg Thiamine or more Choline  brain fog, fat digestion.  Since the recommended reduction in red meat and eggs, experts estimate that only 10% of the population eats the minimum RDA., 500 mg.  Choline is a large percentage of bile.  Many Celiacs are first diagnosed as Gall Bladder surgery candidates.  It works for a while, fut the the symptoms come back. Iodine – 600 to 1200 mcg of Liquid Iodine Vitamin B2 helps break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. It plays a vital role in maintaining the body's energy supply.  500 mg Pantothenic Acid vitamin B5 Low fat yogurt.  My favorite brand is Stonyfield.  Pasture fed means an omega 6:3 ratio of 1:1.  Comercial dairies feed grains and have omega 6:3 ratio  of 5:1.  Omega 3 is healing, omega 6 is inflammatory. No fat yogurts, including greek style has various gums added to replicate the fatty mouth feel, and these gums like guar gum can have several side effects, especially if low vitamin B6 causes poor gastric emptying. Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids in Vegetables  Eating more of the vegetables low in omega six and high omega 3 can reduce inflammation. The American diet is fortified.  Gluten free foods are not.

      Flour 1to1 Mixes never ending lol

      This was one I tried w/o issues using gluten-free flour. It gets confusing the 121 cup for cup. Especially the price of it. But I love using the make your own mixes of gluten-free flours potato starch such as this to make it go further https://theloopywhisk.com/2021/09/23/homemade-gluten-free-flour-blend/ Heres a recipe stating 1:1 https://chefalina.com/gluten-free-anisette-toast-cookies/ I want to try these cookies which I miss since going gluten-free as well as the good Italian Holiday cookies I will be missing. I have found good sandwich bread at Whole Foods called 365 which is under $4 for a regular loaf you won't realize its gluten-free or the Promise bread brand. Making your own sandwich bread seems like a bunch that break apart etc. Eventually I will have to try one.
