Kids’ plate: Pear-baked fish boats with rice and cucumber oars

On the plate: Plain pear-ginger fish, rice, cucumber sticks, slaw and chili left off

Make it a game: The cucumber sticks are oars rowing the fish boat across the rice sea.

Set it aside at step 5, before the grown-ups’ sauce or spice goes on.

Why it works

  • Hashimoto's thyroiditis: No soy here: the marinade is pear, ginger, garlic and gluten-free fish sauce.
  • Gluten-free: Rice, fresh pear marinade and slaw — the fish sauce is labelled gluten-free.

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.
