I avoid most Asian cooking unless I put my own twist on it. Asian food ended badly for me 17 yrs ago with an emergency trip to the E.R. (an anaphylactic reaction). I was advised to avoid Asian and Asian-American cuisine at all costs.

I make my own stir-fry and such. Since I am Celiac, I have to avoid most wraps and breads. The wraps I can have are either just nasty or very expensive. I make my own bread on special occasions, I have a decent bread maker recipe. If I decide to use soy sauce, I have to locate and purchase a much higher cost, gluten-free soy sauce. Most often, I will just use Hormel Herbox Sodium Free, Gluten Free Beef Broth for sauce bases. I also use Jasmine rice instead of white rice, it is naturally gluten free.

I eat a lot of salads and local veggies. I am trying to cut out salt, but it is the most difficult addiction. I don't drink alcohol. I don't do any drugs and even resist any pain medications. I quit smoking 5 years ago. Now, it is time to tackle the hardest addiction in my life...I would love to know that I could survive with only the naturally occurring sodium in foods.

I don't think it is impossible, just very difficult.
