Why it works
- Celiac disease: Built on rice noodles — no wheat, and the sauce needs no soy or stock cubes.
- Milk allergy: Coconut milk gives the sauce its creaminess, no dairy at all.
- Hashimoto's thyroiditis: No soy or seaweed — savouriness comes from salt, ginger and garlic.
- Fish allergy: No fish sauce — salt, ginger and lime do the seasoning work instead.
- Soy allergy: Coconut milk, lime and ginger — nothing soy-based in the pan.
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.
