Ingredient Notes
- Coconut aminos – can be found at Trader Joe’s, Sprouts, or Kroger. It’s a healthy alternative to sugary Asian sauce, definitely a fridge staple!
- Almond Flour – Compared to regular all-purpose flour, almond flour has fewer sugars and carbohydrates. It’s also a good bang for your buck and the ideal alternative for a gluten-free diet. It’s high in protein, manganese, vitamin E, and monounsaturated fats (healthy fats).
- Egg –Egg or two egg white, the choice is yours.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you thicken stir-fry sauce without cornstarch?
Arrowroot is my go-to for sauce thickeners, it has no flavor and can easily substitute cornstarch.
What are some easy gluten-free dinner recipes?
To follow a gluten-free diet, being conscious of your wheat and some grains intake is super key, grab a gluten-free cookbook and cook through it to find new recipes. You can also take regular non-gluten-free recipes and substitute items as needed.
