Why it works
- Hashimoto's thyroiditis: Coconut aminos seasons the stir-fry instead of soy sauce, and every grain here is gluten-free.
- Celiac disease: No wheat anywhere: the sauce is coconut aminos and the coating is arrowroot starch.
- Wheat allergy: A grain-free arrowroot coating keeps the beef crispy without any wheat flour.
- Gluten-free: Coconut aminos and arrowroot stand in for soy sauce and flour, with plain brown rice to serve.
- Kid (4–12): A mild, sweet-savory stir-fry with soft eggplant and beef strips that are easy to pick up.
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.
