Gluten Free White Corn Tortilla Recipe (or Arepas – Pita Pockets)

After visiting Mexico this summer, I was determined to find out how to make soft gluten free white corn tortillas. I usually buy Mission Super Soft White Corn Tortillas. They are much softer than their yellow corn tortillas, closer to flour tortillas, but with more fiber and obviously no gluten. However, if you prefer freshly made gluten free corn tortillas and arepas, without gum and preservatives, try this simple recipe. The special corn flour is easily accessible online and in specialty markets. You only need to add water and salt. You don’t need a tortilla press to make them; however it works with one.

Gluten Free Dumplings (Shaomai)

Shaomai (pronunciation here) are Asian dumplings filled with shrimp and pork cooked in a bamboo steamer or other makeshift steamer).

The Shaomai is simply delicious and may be served to all of your guests. Continue reading “Gluten Free Dumplings (Shaomai)”
