10 gluten and dairy-free chinese dishes to cook at home.

One of my favorite things to eat has always been Chinese food. When going gluten-free,

I avoided it for ages but I’m lucky enough to have found a local takeaway who can make me gluten-free sweet and sour chicken!

Cooking your own gluten-free Chinese dishes is, however, far healthier (and cheaper!). After seeing how popular my 10 gluten and dairy-free thai dishes post was, I thought I’d share some of my favourite Chinese dishes to make too!

1.Gluten free sweet and sour chicken balls

These crispy sweet and sour balls work great by themselves or with my gluten, free, dairy free and refined sugar free sweet and sour sauce!

Make it here.

2. Sweet and Sour Chicken by My Gluten-Free Kitchen

If you prefer chicken style pieces rather than balls, try this version! The key it seems is to use corn starch to coat the chicken, then brown in a pan before transferring to the oven. It looks just like the real thing!

Make it here.

3. Chicken Subgum Chow Mein by Gluten-Free Palate.

Chow mein used to be one of my favorite dishes to eat before I went gluten-free but I’ve not yet had it replicated (since my local don’t offer a gluten-free version). This option is also completely grain free.

Rhian is a fellow IBD-er and has an amazing blog full of vegan recipes! How juicy does that tofu look?

5.Vegetable Fried Rice by Spa Bettie

This is such an easy option for when you need dinner in a hurry and, unlike most fried rice recipes, it’s also vegan; using silken tofu to recreate the egg of traditional recipes.

6. Slow Cooker Cashew Chicken by The Life of Dee

You all know how I LOVE a good slow cooker (you can find my favorite gluten-free slow cooker recipes here) but I’ve never even thought of making Chinese cuisine in mine! It uses gluten free soya sauce and rice wine vinegar for the base and coats the chicken in cornflour.

Make it here

7. Instant Pot Orange Chicken by Recipes from A Pantry

I don’t have an instant pot myself; although I was tempted the last time they were reduced on Amazon Prime Day. They’re a really fantastic way of cooking quickly and healthily. It can be made in less than 30 minutes too!

Make it here

8. Chicken Katsu Curry by me!

Okay, not technically Chinese (more like Japanese) but katsu curry is one of my favourite things and I’m pretty proud of this easy to digest gluten-free chicken katsu recipe and thought I’d give it a mention!

Make it here.

9. Gluten-Free Prawn Toast by Schar

I love prawn toast in all it’s fried, unhealthy goodness. Unfortunately, it’s a bit harder to recreate gluten free but this recipe by Schar is a good place to start!

Make it here

10. Gluten-Free Vegetable Spring Rolls by Gluten Free Alice

 

How amazing do these look! And they’re vegan too! Head to Alice’s instagram to figure out how to make them!
