Gluten Free Siu Mai - Shaomai – Shumai – Opened Dumplings

Using shrimp, pork, and/or beef, you can make these gluten free siu mai,  open-top dumplings. Called shaomai in Japan and siomai in the Philippines with slight variations, they are often served at dim sum (Chinese-style brunches where they serve several small appetizers).  Elsewhere, they are served as appetizers as well as meals. I provide you with filling recipes for Hothot Shaomai, a beef (or minced mutton (sheep), ginger, and scallion filling as well as shrimp and pork shumai.

Gluten Free Artichoke Dip, Sauce, or Soup + Video

During the holidays, this gluten free artichoke dip is extremely popular.  However, it is perfect for any special occasion. The classic recipe usually calls for sour cream or cream cheese. Instead, I used a bechamel sauce (flour and butter) with onion instead. It makes for a very flavorful dip/sauce. I even added some cheese, cooked bacon, and omitted the traditional spinach. What veggies and/or meat will you use? Serve as a dip, over pasta as a sauce, or thin as desired for soup. Continue reading “Gluten Free Artichoke Dip, Sauce, or Soup + Video”

Easy Gluten Free Puff Pastry Substitute (Yeast-Free) + Pull Apart Appetizers – Mini Tacos

Gluten Free Puff Pastry Meat Pies Presentation

This dairy-free pastry dough is easy to make. Use as a gluten free substitute for puff pastry. It puffs up nicely. Use it for pot pies, hot pocket, hand pies, and more. Traditional Gluten Free Puff Pastry , which creates several layers of buttery dough, takes hours to prepare. Even my Small Batch Puff Pastry Recipe is a bit of a chore. However, this recipe works well for pastries and pies in a snap. There is no need to chill the dough before you roll it out. It is easy to roll, handle, and transfer. It is just a little heavier than traditional puff pastry.

You can get away with serving fewer appetizers when you have at least one that is hearty. However, they may just eat too many because they are so delicious! I provide you with your choice of two types of breading options. Continue reading “Fried Gluten Free Macaroni and Cheese Balls”

Gluten Free Loaded Quiche (Bacon)

Gluten Free Loaded Bacon Quiche

Similar to a loaded baked potato, this loaded gluten free quiche is a treasure trove of decadence. Bacon, caramelized onion, sauteed red peppers, cheddar cheese, and cream (or sour cream) make this quiche amazing. However, the flaky easy-to-make Gluten Free Cream Cheese Pastry Crust with its tender and flakiness is the shining star of this dish. However, it does not detract from its flavorful filling.
