Why it works
- Gluten-free: Gluten-free tamari and certified gluten-free rice keep the bowl free of gluten grains.
- Celiac disease: The tamari and rice are specifically gluten-free, with no hidden gluten-bearing sauce.
- Dairy-free: Tofu, olive oil and a ginger-tamari glaze make a hearty bowl without dairy.
Celiac check: watch for hidden gluten in soy sauce, stock, malt vinegar and seasoning blends, and oats that aren’t certified. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
