Chinese Food

Hi! A group of close friends and I were thinking of going to a local. mid-nice Chinese restaurant for a celebration. After planning to go however, we found out someone else is coming who has a gluten allergy.

I talked to the people at the restaurant and they said they could do something steamed, but I wanted to make sure, so:

would a dish like steamed chicken and vegetables be gluten-free?

If not, do you know any other possible gluten-free dishes we could ask for?

Thank you!

My own experience hasn't been positive with the staff telling me they understood and could provide a gluten free meal and my being unwell after wards. This has happened twice at different places. I find the best and safest is Indian where so much of what they offer is naturally gluten free with lots of options. My advice is to steer clear of Chinese. Hope this helps, kind regards, Lee

Hi There,

Yes the raw ingredients are of chicken and vegetables are gluten free. If they are cut, steamed with clean pots and utensils they will be gluten free.

The only issue is cross contamination, e.g. if they were to come into contact with soy sauce (which contains wheat flour) or be cooking in the same pot as dumplings, or sat on the same shopping board as pork buns etc.

As long as the food handelling practises are up to scratch then it will be gluten free. It really depends on the persons hypersensitivity.
