Strawberry Carrot Pecan Muffins

June 27, 2016 By Bo Park Leave a Comment

Baking with low FODMAP and gluten-free flours is tricky. You need to find the right blend of flours which will compensate for the taste, texture and weight of wheat-based flour. There is often the lingering bitter or “grassy” aftertaste of certain flours that needs to be countered, without adding heaps of sugar. The blend used for the Low FODMAP Strawberry Carrot Pecan Muffins includes some very interesting and nutritional flours like quinoa, sorghum and teff.

Flours Used for Low FODMAP Strawberry Carrot Pecan Muffins

Quinoa Flour

Quinoa flour is used frequently in gluten-free and Low FODMAP baking. It is easily digested and contains high levels of protein, calcium, complex carbohydrates, phosphorus, iron and Vitamin B. Too much however, can be overpowering, as it has a distinct aftertaste and some complain of a lingering bitter or grassy taste.

Sorghum Flour

Sorghum, also called milo or jowar flour has a mildly sweet flavor and closely resembles the texture of whole wheat flour. It is high in protein, fiber, phosphorus, potassium and B Vitamins.

Teff Flour

Teff flour is milled from a tiny grain that is a key source of nutrition in Ethiopia. It is high in protein, calcium and fiber and adds weight and structure to the finished product. Many enjoy the nutty, whole-wheat taste of teff. Teff flour is available in both dark and light varieties.

Rice Flour

Brown rice flour is the most often used replacement for wheat flour due to its mild taste and density. However, it isn’t as nutritious as the other high-protein flours mentioned above, and should be used to add weight and structure to baked goods.

Tips for Baking Low FODMAP Strawberry Carrot Pecan Muffins

I experimented quite extensively to counter the aftertaste of the multiple flours used in these muffins. First, I used coconut oil, which has a distinct flavor and aroma, not to mention it’s wonderful health benefits. For instance, coconut oil is a saturated fat that is known to increase healthy cholesterol levels (HDL), boost the immune system and promote healthy heart, skin, hair, nails, digestion and even metabolism.

Lemon zest is included to add vibrance and to mask any undesirable aftertaste of quinoa and other flours. The oil from the lemon contains a variety of vitamins, as well as alkaline and antibacterial benefits. While only a small amount is called for in the recipe, you can increase to 1/2 tsp (about half the lemon) according to preference. Too much lemon zest can be overpowering and add bitterness. Make sure you’re only using the zest portion and not the bitter white pith.

Finally, if you are having difficulty finding the flours, it’s perfectly fine to use the base flours in the Banana Blueberry Kale Muffins.

    Seafood Scallion Pancakes

    June 12, 2016 By Bo Park Leave a Comment

    These Low FODMAP Seafood Scallion Pancakes are an adaptation of the widely popular Korean Haemul (seafood) Pajeon (scallion pancake). While the traditional Haemul Pajeon is often made with wheat flour or pancake batter with garlic, this is a healthier, gluten-free and low FODMAP version.

    Making Low FODMAP Seafood Scallion Pancakes

    The recipe does call for four different types of flours: quinoa, brown rice, sweet white rice and tapioca. The reason for this is that gluten free flours need a blend, to attain the proper taste, weight, texture, density and texture. Unfortunately, at least in the U.S., store-bought All Purpose Gluten Free Flour is not FODMAP free because they use bean flours from chickpeas, soy, pinto, fava and others.

    I first experimented with predominantly quinoa flour but the flavors of the seafood and vegetables alone couldn’t counter the distinct bitter aftertaste of quinoa flour. The brown rice and white rice flour adds weight and structure to the high protein quinoa flour. Tapioca flour helps “stick” the ingredients, making flipping pancakes much easier (no more ruined pancakes that fall apart mid-air during the flip)! In addition, the Tapioca adds a unique, airy, chewy and crispy texture.

    If you do have to go purchase all four of these flours, you’ll probably use at least two of them for other low FODMAP cooking, like the Banana Blueberry Kale Muffins and the Carrot Zucchini Banana Muffins…or better yet, you’ll end up making the Low FODMAP Seafood Scallion Pancakes more than once!

    Make sure to use a garlic free Gochugaru like Korean Red Chili Flakes, Gochugaru (1 Lb) By Tae-kyung, which is just chili flakes (many common chili powders like McCormick’s contain garlic powder) and a low FODMAP Garlic Infused Olive Oil.

    Low FODMAP Seafood Scallion Pancakes

      • Serves: 6
      • Category: Seafood

      Ingredients

      Pancakes

      • 1/2 cup quinoa flour
      • 1/2 cup brown rice flour
      • 3/4 cup sweet rice flour (sticky rice)
      • 1/4 cup tapioca flour
      • 1 teaspoon baking powder
      • 1 teaspoon salt
      • 2 eggs, beaten
      • 1 1/4 cups cold water
      • 1 1/2 cups calamari, chopped
      • 1/2 cup shrimp, skinned, deveined, chopped
      • 1 bunch scallions, green part only, chopped into 1-2 inch strips
      • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
      • 1 red chili pepper, seeded, sliced (optional)
      • 1 green chili pepper, seeded, sliced (optional)
      • black pepper to taste
      • garlic infused oil for cooking pancakes

      Dipping Sauce

      • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
      • 2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
      • 1 teaspoon 100% maple syrup
      • 1/2 teaspoon Korean Red Chili Pepper (Gochugaru) -- optional
      • 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds -- optional

      Instructions

      Pancakes

      1. Combine all flours with baking powder and salt.
      2. Add beaten egg and cold water. Mix evenly.
      3. Mix in seafood, scallions, chili peppers and ginger. Sprinkle some black pepper.
      4. Heat up a nonstick griddle pan. Pour a little garlic infused oil (1 tablespoon should be plenty).
      5. When the oil is hot, spoon the batter onto the pan. Create the pancake size of your choosing. For instance, you can make several 3-4 inch pancakes or one pancake the size of the griddle pan.
      6. Make sure to spread out the seafood and vegetables so the pancake is evenly flattened.
      7. Once the edges of the pancakes are brown and the batter has begun to set (or you see tiny bubbles), flip over the pancake. This should be very easily manageable (otherwise, you're flipping too soon) -- use two spatulas if that's easier.
      8. Press down on the pancakes with the spatula to ensure the seafood is evenly distributed and flattened out. Depending on the size of the pancakes, cook for about 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and the center is set and not too gooey (if the edges are burning and the center is gooey, the heat is too high).
      9. Hint: try to create some crispy spots on the pancake without burning.
      10. Stack pancakes onto plate as they're done and serve with dipping sauce.

      Dipping Sauce

      1. Combine soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil and maple syrup. Add in optional Korean Chili Powder (Gochugaru) and toasted sesame seeds.

      Chicken Yakisoba Noodles

      May 15, 2016 By Bo Park Leave a Comment

      Low FODMAP Chicken Yakisoba Noodles is an adaptation of the Japanese stir-fried Soba noodles. Yakisoba began cropping up in the food stalls in Japan in the early 20th century. While Soba means “buckwheat,” many found in restaurants actually use wheat based noodles. So make sure you are buying 100% buckwheat soba noodles like King Soba 3-PACK Gluten Free & Organic 100% Buckwheat Pasta Noodles.

      For variation, you can replace the chicken with shrimp, pork or beef.

      Benefits of Low FODMAP Chicken Yakisoba Noodles

      Contrary to its name, buckwheat is not a wheat nor a cereal grain. It is actually a fruit seed related to rhubarb and sorrel and is gluten free and FODMAP friendly. Buckwheat is known to lower cholesterol and high blood pressure. It is a rich source of flavonoids, magnesium and vitamin B. It is also believed to lower blood glucose and insulin responses, making it a good choice for those with diabetes.

        Carrot Ginger Dressing Salad

        May 5, 2016 By Bo Park Leave a Comment

        The Low FODMAP Carrot Ginger Dressing Salad is a terrific alternative to the classic Japanese restaurant-style salad which is generally loaded high FODMAP onions, garlic, honey or corn syrup. I love this dressing because it’s so creamy, tangy, zesty, sweet and flavorful but very healthy!

        The dressing is great on lettuce, kale, spinach, cabbage or any low FODMAP salad but be sure to skip the edamame! You can also use the salad base from the Thai Salad with Peanut Dressing. Or, drizzle on steamed vegetables like spinach or Bok Choy. In addition, it can work well as a bright, colorful sauce for grilled chicken or fish.

          Thai Ground Chicken with Basil

          April 27, 2016 By Bo Park Leave a Comment

          Low FODMAP Thai Ground Chicken with Basil is a lightning fast to make, traditionally made in a wok over high heat. Serve as an appetizer, or over brown rice or quinoa as a main course. For a change of pace, try serving with lettuce leaves and let your guests eat them as wraps. The chicken can also be substituted with ground pork.

          Cooking Low FODMAP Thai Ground Chicken with Basil

          Please use a heavy, high quality wok, as burned and smokey oil is known to be carcinogenic. The one I use is Cooks Standard Multi-Ply Clad Stainless-Steel 13-Inch Wok with Dome Lid, which cooks evenly and holds a ton of food.

          For those of you who are not familiar with cooking with a wok, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, a wok is for high-speed cooking and gets very hot. So you have to use a high heat oil like peanut, soy, sunflower or safflower oil. Using butter or olive oil will result in a soggy dish, instead of a crispy, fresh tasting stir-fry.

          Second, similar to a cast iron pan, a wok gets better with use. So don’t be bummed out that your shiny new wok looks discolored. You actually want the seasoning to seep into the pores of the metal.

          Always heat up the wok empty first, to about 400 degrees Fahrenheit, before adding the cooking oil. Finally, make sure you have all of the ingredients prepped to go, as the wok will cook them in a matter of seconds.

          If you do not have a wok, you can cook it in a large, heavy pot and just cook the chicken longer until no longer pink.

          Low FODMAP Thai Ground Chicken with Basil

            • Serves: 4
            • Category: Main Dishes

            Ingredients

            • 2 tablespoons garlic infused oil (high heat oil like peanut, safflower or sunflower oil is best)
            • 1/4 cup scallions, chopped, green part only
            • 1 pound ground chicken breast
            • 6 Thai chiles, sliced into thin rings
            • 1 teaspoon asafetida
            • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
            • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
            • 1 cup fresh basil leaves

            Instructions

            1. Note: since olive oil can't withstand the heat of a wok well, you may want to make your own garlic infused oil, using peanut, sunflower or safflower oil.
            2. Place wok over high heat until hot and smoking. Add garlic oil and scallions. Mix in the ground chicken and asafetida and cook for 2 minutes until it loses its pink.
            3. Stir in the sliced chilies, soy sauce, and fish sauce and cook a few more seconds.
            4. Add in basil and cook until wilted.
            5. Remove from heat and serve.

            Coconut Chia Pudding

            April 17, 2016 By Bo Park Leave a Comment

            This low FODMAP Coconut Chia Pudding is a cinch to make. To make the process even easier, you can throw everything in a jar and shake briskly before refrigerating. I like to use unsweetened Thai Kitchen coconut milk, which I find sweet enough, even without the maple syrup.

            Chia seeds are packed with Omega-3 and antioxidants, while coconut milk is rich with vitamins C, E, B1, B3, B5 and B6 and minerals including iron, selenium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorous. The fat in coconut milk is also known to lower cholesterol and help boost your immune system.

            Make sure to refrigerate the pudding to give the chia seeds enough time to set.

              Yay I say to low FODMAP Thai Chicken Satay! This was one of the dishes I missed dearly dining at Thai restaurants. These taste best grilled but if you don’t have a grill, you can broil in the oven for about 5-6 minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink.

              Make the low FODMAP homemade Thai Peanut Sauce in the Sauce & Others section for dipping.

              You have the option to sprinkle with crushed peanuts or sesame seeds.

              As far as key low FODMAP ingredients, I use the following: Korean Red Chili Flakes (Gochugaru), which is just chili flakes. Many common chili powders like McCormick’s contain garlic powder; Garlic Infused Olive Oil; Asafetida.

                Matcha Green Tea Quinoa Pudding

                April 10, 2016 By Bo Park Leave a Comment

                If you miss Green Tea Ice Cream at Japanese restaurants, here’s Low FODMAP Matcha Green Tea Quinoa Pudding, and much healthier alternative!

                There are three key components to achieving that bright attractive color and creamy, custardy texture. First, is the quality, consistency and color of the coconut milk you select (white, thick). Second, be sure to save 1/4 cup of the coconut milk to add at the end once the pudding has completely cooled. Finally, use a fresh matcha powder (not dull from staleness or too strong), as that will determine the resulting green hue.

                Coconut milk is rich with vitamins C, E, B1, B3, B5 and B6 and minerals including iron, selenium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorous. The fat in coconut milk is known to lower cholesterol and help boost your immune system.

                You can substitute the raspberries with sliced strawberries banana or any low FODMAP fruit.

                  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rest of the coconut milk, water, vanilla, maple syrup (optional), salt and bring to simmer.
                  3. Add the cooked quinoa and gently simmer at the lowest heat for about 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently until the mixture is creamy and most of the liquid has evaporated.
                  4. Remove from heat and let cool for at least 20 minutes.
                  5. Stir in the matcha powder and saved coconut milk evenly. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
                  6. Top with raspberries and serve. Sweeten further with maple syrup if desired.

                  Buffalo Turkey Quinoa Meatballs

                  April 10, 2016 By Bo Park Leave a Comment

                  These Low FODMAP Buffalo Turkey Quinoa Meatballs are high in protein, spicy and sassy. The recipe calls for a low FODMAP Buffalo Wing Sauce, like Texas Pete’s Buffalo Wing sauce (without garlic). If you can’t find one suitable, you can make your own homemade Buffalo Wing Sauce in the Sauce & Others section.

                  Feel free to reduce the amount of sauce to lessen the heat. It’s easiest to cook in a slow cooker but you can use a regular stockpot over very low heat.

                  You can serve these with a side salad or some steamed spinach for a healthy and well-balanced meal.

                    Coconut Quinoa Pudding

                    April 6, 2016 By Bo Park Leave a Comment

                    Low FODMAP Coconut Quinoa Pudding is a nice easy and healthy snack, packed with protein. Coconut milk is rich with vitamins C, E, B1, B3, B5 and B6 and minerals including iron, selenium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorous. The fat in coconut milk is known to lower cholesterol and help boost your immune system.

                    There are two key components to achieving that bright attractive color and creamy, custardy texture. First, is the quality, consistency and color of the coconut milk you select (white, thick and rich). I like Thai Kitchen Unsweetened Coconut Milk. Second, be sure to save 1/4 cup of the coconut milk to add at the end once the pudding has completely cooled.

                    You can use any type of quinoa — white, red or black. You can top with sliced bananas or blueberries instead.
