On the plate: Soft rice noodles with tender cabbage and carrot, served plain before the chives go in.

- Hashimoto's thyroiditis: Gluten-free rice noodles, cabbage, carrots and ginger make a soy-free, seaweed-free noodle dish.
- Gluten-free: Gluten-free rice noodles and garlic-infused olive oil keep gluten out of this noodle dish.
- Low-histamine: Freshly cooked cabbage, carrots, ginger and chives bring flavor without vinegar, soy or broth.
- Kid (4–12): Mild rice noodles with tender cabbage and sweet carrot make a familiar, easy-to-pick-up plate.
- Toddler (1–3): Soft cabbage and tender carrot are cut small, with noodles served in short pieces.
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.
