So far I have not perfected gluten-free wonton wrappers. Therefore the soup is made without them. I have used rice wrappers with the same mix and deep-fried them and they are really good. Has anyone else had any luck with gluten free wonton wrappers? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Dougie's Won ton soup (without the wrappers) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 900 g ground pork 2 eggs 1 large bunch green onions (finely chopped) fresh mushrooms (sliced) 2 tablespoon soy sauce 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper About 12 cups water 2 cubes chicken or vegetable stock 10-15 uncooked medium shrimp (optional) 1 medium head bok choy (finely chopped) 1 cup broccoli (in small pieces) 2 handfuls of snow peas One can baby corn One small can water chestnuts Gf soy sauce or Tamari sauce Prepare all the vegetables and set aside. Mix in a bowl the ground pork, most of the green onions, soy sauce, eggs, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly with hands and place about a teaspoon full onto a baking pan and bake for about 20 mins Bring the water to a boil in a large saucepan over medium heat and then add cooked pork and all vegetables ... add the peas for the last minute or two of cooking. Simmer the soup for about 5 minutes (until vegetables are cooked enough) and then add in the snow pea. Ladle soup into bowls and top with the remaining green onions and a dash of soy sauce. Enjoy! . . . . . #glutenfreewontonsoup #glútenfree #lovesoup #eatyourvegetables
Leftover potatoes and salmon that needed cooking the other day. These were so quick and easy to throw together. Yummy Salmon cakes 1 cup cooked of canned salmon 1/2 onion (peeled and diced) 1 stalk of celery (finely diced) 2 Tbspns almond flour 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes 1 tablespoons parsley (chopped) Two green onions (chopped) 1 egg pepper 1 teaspoon salt ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sauté onion. Cook salmon, or use canned. Mix all ingredients in a bowl and mash together. Shape with a spoon and your hands Fry in oil until crispy and brown. Serve with a salad . . . . #glutenfreerecipies #salmoncakes #salmoncroquettes #foodgood #celiacsafe
My taste testers .. a.k.a. family .. say this is my best bread yet! I have made this recipe a number of times in the past few weeks and in the beginning it was rising well, but the taste was too bland. Then the bread was too heavy. (This sounds like a goldilocks story) Now the taste and the texture are just right. Still no commercial yeast ... wild yeast only. And some starch but not a lot! . . . #sourdoughbaking #glutenfreesourdoughbread #glutenfreesourdoughstarter #realbread #wildyeastbread Recipe on the blog
Easy breakfast 3 tablespoons of gf oats 1 tablespoon of chia seeds 1 teaspoon of honey 1 teaspoon of peanut butter 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon 1 apple peeled and sliced 1/2 a cup of milk of choice Cook for about 6 to 8 minutes until the oats and the apple are cooked. Don’t over cook otherwise the apples will be mushy . . . . #glutenfreeoats #glutenfreebreakfastideas #applesforbreakfast #cinnamonspice
There was quite a lot of bok choy left over from a wonton soup recipe the other day. I hate waste, so it was tossed it in the pan with some seasonings and some chicken. It was a nice change. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4 cups chopped spinach or Bok Choy 4 chopped green onions 1 tsp grated fresh ginger 1 tsp of grated turmeric 1 Tbspn sesame seeds 1 tsp cumin seeds 1 garlic clove 1/2 teaspoon sugar 1 Tbspn soy sauce 2 tablespoon sesame oil ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Season chicken breasts with your favourite garlic seasoning. Pan fry in sesame oil
 Add grated garlic, turmeric and ginger to 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in the pan .. let sit for five minutes for the oil to soak up the flavours. Chop up greens. Turn on heat and Sauté the garlic, ginger and turmeric on low heat, for 1 minute. Add chopped greens and stir constantly for 2-3 minutes. Lastly add the sugar and soy sauce. . . . . #Turmeric #Ginger #Garlic #Chicken #quickfood
Good bread with some butter… You can’t beat it! This is a fairly quick gluten free sandwich bread with sunflower seeds. Not a lot of effort goes into putting it together so it’s great for when you have run out of bread. I don’t ever buy bread anymore because I enjoy the sourdough too much . . . #glutenfree #glutenfreelunch #glutenfreebaking #naturalyeastbread
