Why it works
- Celiac disease: Gluten-free rice noodles and tamari replace wheat noodles and ordinary soy sauce.
- Wheat allergy: Gluten-free rice noodles and tamari keep wheat out of the dish.
- Gluten-free: Gluten-free rice noodles and tamari are used throughout.
- No spicy food: Tamarind and lime make a tangy sauce with no chili heat.
- Tree nut allergy: Olive oil, shrimp and rice noodles make this without tree nuts.
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.
