Authentic Chinese Stir Fry


Authentic Chinese Stir Fry

Chicken 1 medium sized breast cubed or sliced.
Marinate the chicken for an hour in:
2 tbsp of glutenfree soya sauce
1 tbsp vinegar
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp wonton seasoning (i know!!! who knew!!
1 tsp crushed red pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp sesame oil



4-5 Soaked dried shitaki mushrooms, the. Sliced
1/4 cup sliced carrots
1/2 cup sliced red onions
1/2 cup sliced red pepper
1/2 cup sliced green pepper
1/2 cup sliced green onions 
2 cups bean sprouts
4 tbsp of soya sauce
1 tsp of won seasoning
1 tsp of onion powder
2 tbsp of sesame oil
3 tbsp of canola or corn oil
1/2 tsp black pepper


Rice noodles(wide ones like linguini) for two serving, usually half a pack.

1. Marinate the chicken for 1/2 hour to an hour.

2. Make the rice noodles. Boil water add noodles and cook for 3-4 minutes. The texture should be soft with the bite in the middle. They will cook later in the stir fry. Drain and wash them in cold water while separating them. Wash until their temperature is cold. Set aside. They shouldn't look like a glob( mostly happens if over cooked).

3. Hot the wok on maximum heat. Add 2 tbsp of canola oil and 1 tbsp of sesame. Fry onion and carrot on high heat for 30-45 seconds. Keep stiring. Scoop them out.

4. Then stir fry peppers. Scoop them out  in 1 minute.

5. A bit if oil should be left to fry mushroom for good 3-4 minutes before adding the chicken. Cook the chicken 80% and then scoop out. 

6. Clean the pan so no caramelization is left behind.

7. In the Wok on high heat, add 1 tbsp if canola and 1 tbsp of sesame oil and add the noddles. Stir fry as in stir ever 10 seconds. I use a wooden spoon and stir while cleaning the pan with the edge of the spoon if some of the noddles start getting stuck on the ban. Add 1 tbsp of soya sauce and 1/2 of the seasonings (1/2 tsp of wonton seasoning, 1/2 tsp of onion powder and 1/4 tsp of black pepper)

8. Stir for good 3 minutes then add chicken and mushroom , then fry for another minute and add vegetables. 

Remember high heat, if you think they ll  start to steam separate half of the noddles and fry everything  in two batches. 

9.At the end add green onions and sprouts and the rest of the seasoning(1/2 tsp of wonton seasoning, 1/2 tsp of onion powder and 1/4 tsp of black pepper). Fry until the sprouds look like noodles.
 Serve right away and Enjoy.

Gluten Free Double Chocolate Strawberry Cake

I wanted to share a picture of my recent indulgence. This cake takes me back to childhood late Autumn evenings, where adults sipped Chai with delicious cake and us kids just gobbled the cake down. It also reminds me of my mums struggle on hot summer days to beat the cream into whipping cream and it still melted even with a double ice bath. Yes it takes time but just looking at it made all my hard work worth it and yes it is gluten free so i enjoyed every bit of it :)

Kay's Deli Review-Portobello Mushroom Sandwhich

This is my second restaurant/cafe review for the gluten free eating. I know I should do more of these but i don't eat out that much. Kay's Deli is one my favourite places to eat because i can have gluten free deli sandwhiches. It is on William St. in the midst of a lot of Asian/Vietnamese/Chinease restaurants. It's known for its healthy food, fresh juices and smoothies. I LIKE them for gluten free options like soup of the day with gf bread, Quiche, salads, deli sandwiches with gluten free bread. The atmosphere is very comfortable and and warm. The sun shines in during lunch hour whenever its sunny out :). They have wifi for people who want to work, while they eat. They aslo take orders on the phone and get it ready for you to pick up. Portobello Mushroom Sandwhich is one delicious sandwhich. It is vegetarian with a slice of provolone, cucumber, red pepper, red onion, grilled portobello, and sundried tomato relish. The sandwhich comes toasted with a pickle and carrots. It

Haleem - Represents Pakistan's culture (Gluten free :))

Haleem: Threads of beef, a bite of lentils and oats and melody of spices with delicious garnishes. Haleem is a true representation of the subcontinent/Mughal heritage. It is a very well known dish in Lahore, Karachi (Pakistan) and Hyderabad (India).  It has a beautiful golden, dull yellow color, its consistency is very similar to creamy dish of risotto. It’s made with aromatic and hot spices. It is served with crispy fried onions for texture, ginger, lemon juice to cut through the spiced creaminess. An original recipe of haleem requires 16-20 hours of cook time and if you have had that haleem you are one of the lucky ones. My mum used to start cooking it at night so we can have for lunch for the next day. She would brown the meats with garlic ginger and haleem spices like cloves, cardamom, cumin, cayenne pepper, black pepper. Then she would add soaked lentils and wheat and lots of water in the big pot. She would put the heat on very low temperature, cover the pot and would stick wet
