Sun Bird Oriental Seasonings

[SueC]

Does anyone know if sun bird seasonings are gluten-free? They are made with corn starch but also have colorings, maltodextrin, tapioca dextrin and citric acid. I am craving Chinese food but I'm not sure if I can use these.

Thanks for any reply.

YES!!!! Some of them are. I called the company and the lady told me a couple that are gluten-free over the phone (Honey Sesame Chicken, Curry Chicken, Sweet and Sour Pork, Spicy Sechuan (sp?) Chicken) and she told me that she would mail me a complete list of all their gluten-free products.

I made the Honey Sesame Chicken last night and it was SOOOOOOOO good! I adore chinese food and this stuff was really good. Tastes just like retaurant chinese food.

THANKS Carolyn!!!!!!!

I tried to call but never got through.... Thanks for the info. I miss ordering Chinese take-out soooo much! I can't wait to make the sesame chicken.

So far I've made the spicy szechuan and the honey sesame chicken. I'm totally in love with this stuff, and I've never tried it before! It tastes just like takeout food and I'm going to eat it every night until I barf.

[SueC]

ah.... a woman after my own heart!! I'll let you know if it lives up to the standards of which I was once accustomed!!!

[frenchiemama]

I added the optional pineapple to the honey sesame chicken, very good. I recommend it.

I was so depressed because I thought I would never be able to have the kind of chinese that I love again, I'm so happy to have found this stuff! In fact, the only reason I really paid attention to it at the store was because of your post. I walked past it hundreds of times and never bothered to really look at it, now I'm hooked.
