Why it works
- Celiac disease: Certified gluten-free rice noodles and gluten-free tamari keep gluten out of the stir-fry.
- Kid (4–12): Mild ginger chicken, soft noodles and small vegetable pieces make familiar forkfuls.
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.
