Kids’ plate: Pork and Rice Noodles
On the plate: Pork strips, soft broccoli and bok choy with rice noodles, set aside before the pear-ginger sauce is added.
Make it a game: Make a noodle nest for the pork strips. The broccoli can be tiny trees beside it.
Set it aside at step 4, before the grown-ups’ sauce or spice goes on.
Why it works
- Hashimoto's thyroiditis: Rice noodles, pork and vegetables bring the meal together without soy, legumes or dairy.
- Gluten-free: Gluten-free rice noodles and fresh pear keep the stir-fry free of wheat and hidden gluten.
- Low-histamine: Freshly cooked pork with pear, ginger and scallion gives the sauce its savoury-sweet balance without vinegar or fermented sauce.
- Toddler (1–3): Soft broccoli and bok choy with thin pork strips and short rice noodles.
- Kid (4–12): Mild pork strips, soft vegetables and rice noodles make familiar bites.
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.
