So I've got some rice noodles

[~Megan~]

and I want to make something yummy for everyone.

Our allergies and food intolerances include wheat gluten, soy, peanuts, egg white, garlic, and citrus.

Recipe ideas?

[robugmum]

what type of noodles? Are they Asian or pasta type?

Asian rice noodles like the kind one would use for pad thai

[robugmum]

My family loves Asian style broth soups, with chicken or shrimp, veggies and lots of noodles. I'm not sure what constitutes yummy in your house though!
I'd go browse on Tastespotting and see what comes up!

I like to make a nice stir fry, cook the noodles up and then add them to the stir fry at the very end and serve. Often I do a tofu-veggie stir fry (cut the tofu up, and bake it in the oven at 350 for an hour first to make it nice'n firm), with peppers, onions, carrots, broccoli & peas.

We can't eat soy or tofu.

So use chicken or shrimp or beef or pork or just a bunch of different veggies... Thats the beauty of stir fry - you can put just about anything in it!!

What kind of sauce do I use though? I've never made stir fry without soy sauce or some soy based sauce.

...do you guys like pad thai?? I think Fish Sauce is just fermented fish, right? Is tamarind ok? We make awesome, awesome pad thai! I'm drooling just thinking about it! Mmmm!!! Pretty easy to leave the peanuts out of that one.

Instead of soy sauce you could use traditional combinations of sweet/sour/salty/spicy (or pungent) like fish sauce, lime juice, Chile sauce (or ginger), sugar & salt + whatever else you want to put in the mix. Sesame, coconut milk, curry paste/powder & sweet rice vinegar are also delicious.

Are you looking for non-asian inspired dishes? I bet they'd make a great bed for alfredo... even beef stroganoff.


ETA: I bet deglazing a basic stir fry that contains spices with some broth would add that saltiness soy sauce gives. It'll condense & be salty & complex.

You could also experiment by adding some other deeply flavoured ingredients to the broth prior to deglazing, like blackstrap molasses (I think it's wheat/soy free?) or honey. Salty/sweet is always delicious!

I'll look for a plain fish sauce. I've never seen one without soy. We love pad thai but would have to do it with almonds or something since it is peanut heavy.

It's making me hungry too!

Hey! My fish sauce only lists Anchovy Extract, Water & Salt as the ingedients.

It's Three Fish Brand Fish Sauce (Ummm.... Nuoc Mam Nhi Ca Sac Thuong Hang Hieu Ba Ca Sac?)

I use them in chicken noodle soup. We also do stir fry (usually pork) without soy, though I use garlic to spice it up. How about ginger instead? And I use chicken broth to add flavor too.
