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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
