On the plate: Two plain baked pork and cabbage rolls, no dipping sauce, and a little bowl of extra plain pork filling.
Make it a game: Unroll one to peek at the pork-and-veg treasure hidden inside.
Set it aside at step 4, before the grown-ups’ sauce or spice goes on.
Why it works
- Celiac disease: Tamari and wrappers are gluten-free, so every roll and the dip are safe for you.
- Kid (4–12): Plain, mild pork rolls to pick up and eat with fingers, sauce kept off.
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.
