The Search For Gluten Free Chinese Food Ends Here

One of the most difficult things about trying to live gluten free today is attempting to figure out what is safe to order from your typical restaurant menu.  Eventually, most establishments will probably offer a separate menu for those who are sensitive to gluten.  Until then, there are some foods that you can feel confident in ordering at the restaurant where you get your favorite chinese take-out.
  • Desserts
Chinese New Year's cookies, almond cookies, steamed puddings and Chinese rice cake.  Some examples include Tangyuan (a dumpling), Nian gao (Chinese New Year Cake), the ear-shaped Erkuai and Tainan Bowl Rice Cake.
  • Appetizers
Dim Sum is a favorite dumpling made with rice and Spring Rolls are often made with rice flour wrappings.  Fried Bean Curd is another good choice in appetizers.  Fried foods are often made with a corn starch coating so inquire if your favorite is gluten-free.
  • Entrees
Most rice dishes are gluten-free including steamed and fried rice, sizzling rice and rice noodles.  Also, Stuffed Bean Curd and Bean Thread noodles are good choices.
  • Rice Flour
Rice flour is used in steamed noodles, rice buns, pancakes and wraps that surrounding fillings (make sure they do not contain soy sauce), steamed dumplings and many types of traditional cookies.
