There are a few choice things that I truly miss since being diagnosed wheat-intolerant: deep fried foods and Chinese food are at the top of that list. So when I accidentally made this dish that ended up tasting like restaurant Chinese food well you better believe we make it a couple of times a month. Even my non-allergic spouse thoroughly enjoys this one!
One of the great things about this recipe is that you have a lot of flexibility. If you want to add red peppers, go for it. The same goes for other Asian-type ingredients like: water chestnuts, bean sprouts, baby corn, and the like. Fresh pineapple is a great addition as well.
My kitchen is not a produce stand I am on a budget. I use ingredients I tend to keep on hand. This recipe is great for leftover chicken. You can use raw if you want. I find the already cooked chicken absorbs the flavor very well and ends up extremely tender. This dish is gluten-, wheat- and soy-free.
