Steamed Cod with Ginger and Scallions

March 24, 2016 By Bo Park Leave a Comment

Low FODMAP Steamed Cod with Ginger and Scallions is low in calories and cholesterol and packed with protein. I’ve always considered cod one of the most perfect foods. Cod promotes cardiovascular health because it is a good source of blood-thinning omega-3 fatty acids. It is also high in vitamin B12 and Vitamin B6.

Cooking Low FODMAP Steamed Cod with Ginger and Scallions

Cod is versatile to cook with because it is highly adaptable to most seasoning. Even some folks who don’t like seafood seem to find cod palatable.

Fresh cod should be readily available at the seafood section, but frozen cod works well too. I like the individually wrapped frozen cods available from Costco, as the excellent flash freezing technique has retained much of the flavor and juiciness.

Cod adapts well to any type of cooking, but steaming it in the ginger sauce is one of the easiest and healthiest methods. Just be sure not to overcook the fish. The dish pairs nicely with the Baby Bok Choy with  Oyster Sauce or the Korean Cucumber Salad. You can also make a nice “bowl meal” by placing the cod with multiple vegetable side dishes on top of a bowl of quinoa.

Turkey Chili with Okra

March 24, 2016 By Bo Park Leave a Comment

Chili was my staple comfort food before the FODMAP curse struck me, so I’ve come up with Low FODMAP Turkey Chili with Okra. Since we can’t use beans, I wanted to replace them with something you could sink your teeth in. After numerous experiments, I was delighted with the texture of chewing into the okra bits as well as the consistency it added to the base (Monash University’s recommended guideline is up to 6 okras per serving). If you can’t stand okra, you could skip it but I urge you to give it a go! You can also substitute the turkey with ground beef or lamb.

This is another dish on the spicier side. If you are a Fodmapper who is generally not bothered by spices, but simply intolerant of the high FODMAP ingredients which accompany them (like garlic and onion), this is probably worth a shot. Feel free to modify the chili powder and paprika to lessen the heat.

Here are my favorite brand of key ingredients:

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.

Muir Glen Organic Crushed Tomato with Basil, 28-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12) (I buy it by the case)

Baja Precious – Glorious Garlic Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil (750ml Bottle)

Rani Asafetida (Hing) Ground 3.75 oz.
