Gluten-free Asian cooking questions
Which soy sauce is gluten-free?
Tamari labelled gluten-free, or coconut aminos for soy-free and AIP eaters. Regular soy sauce is brewed with wheat, and so is most gochujang.
Can the kids eat it too?
Add everyone to your family in the Gluten app. It checks each recipe for each person and tells you when to set the kids’ portion aside before the chili goes in.
