Is there anything better than Chinese takeaway? 🥡 It can be difficult to find restaurants that are able to cater for gluten free. Soy sauce is any celiac’s nightmare 😬 so we’re big fans of the fakeaway!

This Kung Pao Chicken is 🔥 Just as good as the ones we used to order. While it may not be as easy as clicking a button online, this recipe isn’t difficult at all. No more awkward phone calls about cross-contamination! 🙌
