Delicious Gluten Free Chinese BBQ Pork (Soy Free and Tomato Free)

Chinese BBQ Pork

This Chinese BBQ pork recipe may be made soy free when using my soy free barbecue sauce recipe which calls for my soy free soy sauce recipe; or with the use of any gluten free soy sauce or barbecue sauce. Traditionally, Chinese BBQ pork does not call for tomatoes or ketchup, though some use it. This recipe is tomato free. And if you’re not on a gluten free diet, of course, you may use any brands you desire. This recipe calls for a slow cooker (crockpot), and may be followed by broiling the meat, which is optional. As you can see in the photo that it is sticky, and you may make it crisp on the outside, if you wish. No matter how you prepare it, in the end, it is flavorful, inside and out. I made this especially for my experiment with gluten free egg rolls. This Chinese BBQ pork recipe truly is a delight. Bring Chinese food back to your life with this delicious gluten free recipe!

Chinese Soy Free Gluten Free Barbecue Sauce Marinade

Gluten Free Soy Free Chinese Barbecue Sauce

It took a bit of research to create this Asian gluten free barbecue sauce. Traditionally, an Asian barbecue sauce recipe will call for hoisin sauce, which is made up partly of soy beans and soy sauce, which usually is not gluten free, and certainly not soy free. Wanting one that is soy free is what brought me to create a portion of this recipe. The main reason is that I am developing a gluten free egg rolls recipe, and needed to get all my ducks in a row. I planned on using barbecued pork as one of the ingredients but wanted more of an authentic Asian gluten free barbecue sauce. Due to my allergies, it is taking a couple of gluten free recipes just to get started on the egg rolls, but if you’re not a soy-free dieter you may use store-bought items to make it easier. And I discovered that tomato or ketchup is not a traditional ingredient though you may find it used in some recipes. Stay tuned in for more on the egg rolls soon, if all turns out well. But definitely watch for my Chinese barbecue pork recipe. For now, I hope you enjoy this Chinese soy free gluten free barbecue sauce. Along with a little gluten free chicken broth, it’s going to make some awesome barbecued pork. It’s time to get those crockpots out!

Flourless Walnut Cake

This gluten free cake recipe turns out a very delicate, lightweight, yet moist, gluten free cake. One layer may be used as a coffee cake, without the heavy weight, or layer it, if you desire.

Whether serving with coffee, tea, or a glass of milk, this gluten free cake will surely hit the spot if you have a sweet tooth, and it is all free of highly refined sugar (depending upon if you use honey or agave) and is high in protein.

High Protein Gluten Free Crepes – Blintz – Cheese Rolls (Flourless)

Image: Gluten Free Crepes

I needed to create a cheese rolls recipe, often known as blintz, using tapioca flour starch for an eHow video and thought I would include dairy-free options. Though you may use cow’s milk for a creamier crepe, dairy-free milk or even water will work. I filled my crepe with chopped sauteed Swiss chard with garlic, a mixture of sauteed onion and red bell pepper, topped with a little Gluten Free Bechamel Sauce. Though these are high in egg, they do not taste eggy. Fill with anything sweet or savory. A crepe filled with cottage cheese is known in the Jewish community as a blintz. Others fill them with cheese and roll them up like a burrito around all sides and bake until warm. Usually, they are then topped with a fruit sauce. Gluten free crepes are like an empty canvas. Create away! Continue reading “High Protein Gluten Free Crepes – Blintz – Cheese Rolls (Flourless)”

Gluten Free Bechamel Sauce Recipe (Basic Gluten Free White Sauce)

Bechamel Sauce Without All-Purpose Flour

One can use this gluten free bachamel sauce (pronounced “bay shoe mel) as a base for any cream sauce. You may add spices, or pureed roasted red peppers, cheese, and more. Often times, when using potato starch to thicken sauces it tends to thin when reheated. I used tapioca starch in my old recipe, and now a new thickener that stays thick. What will you use to flavor this sauce? Be creative! Make a chili bechamel and stuff some crepes with ground beef and sauteed onion and peppers. This sauce really is a blank canvas.

Gluten Free Vol-au-Vent for Sweet or Savory Recipes

Image: Gluten Free Vol au Vent

A vol-au-vent is a French pastry which is made from layers of puffed pasty, hallowed out and filled with anything from sweet to savory. This gluten free vol-au-vent is stuffed with peach pie filling, however, you may fill it with something savory which contains a little sauce or moisture, such as a seafood mousse, chicken pot pie filling, etc. How this recipe came about was when I stumbled upon a recipe for vol-au-vent, and just had to make a gluten free version. While this recipe turns out a crust similar to pie crust, it can be made with my new flaky gluten free phyllo dough. This gluten free vol-au-vent recipe allows you to be creative. You can shape them into hearts for Valentine’s Day or four leaf clovers for St. Patrick’s Day. You can scallop the edges or whatever you desire. Give it a try. And I bet your guests will never know they are made from a gluten free recipe! Continue reading “Gluten Free Vol-au-Vent for Sweet or Savory Recipes”

Gluten Free Truffles

Image: Gluten Free Truffles

I was so pleased with these gluten free truffles, as this was my first time coating them in tempered chocolate. Tempering the chocolate, discussed below, will give your truffles a professional shine. Tempering chocolate seems much faster than it appears in the directions below. It really is a chore. Unless these are a gift, I would skip that step and just melt the chocolate and not let it cool too much before dipping. Truffles are very easy and fast to make unless you are dipping them in chocolate. But it was so well worth it, as these were a gift. You may decorate the tops with white chocolate mixed with food coloring (Select Tea makes natural ones), or you may drizzle a bit of thin chocolate on the top after it sets a bit, or leave plain, as I did. I thought the papers that I used were decoration enough. If they are for Valentine’s Day you may think about piping out a very think pink or red heart. How will you decorate your gluten free truffles? Continue reading “Gluten Free Truffles”
