Why it works
- Celiac disease: Rice noodles and coconut aminos instead of soy sauce, no hidden wheat in the wok.
- Milk allergy: The glaze clings with tamarind, palm sugar and coconut aminos, nothing creamy.
- Hashimoto's thyroiditis: No soy, fish sauce or dairy: coconut aminos and tamarind season the whole wok.
- Fish allergy: Tamarind gives the salty-sour punch in place of fish sauce.
- Soy allergy: Coconut aminos stand in for soy sauce, so the noodles keep their dark savoury glaze.
