[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ooh, that's a tough one. Either soy, sesame, and coconut are pretty much in everything Asian, huh? :)

How about lemongrass chicken? http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/lemongrass-chicken-october-2007

DH is Vietnamese and we make that a lot and it's delicious. You could do the broccoli as a side dish, stir-fried with some garlic slivers, crushed ginger, and olive oil (or some other safe oil for your DS).

Here's another Vietnamese-style recipe with no soy (says you use fish sauce OR soy): http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/6186-vietnamese-stir-fried-vegetables-with-chicken-or-shrimp

It's a little more American and has the veggies in it.

There's also caramel chicken, which is insanely delicious (sort of a sweet-and-sour thing): http://www.theravenouscouple.com/2009/09/caramelized-chicken-ga-kho.html (omit the sesame). (For this, you'd probably serve veggies on the side as I said above, or more traditionally, you'd make a soup with veggies to serve with the meal).

I'll try to come up with more. Vietnamese might be a good vein to mine since they do use soy, but less so than Thai, Chinese, Japanese, and fish sauce is the primary flavor in many dishes.[/quote]

PP back again. If he's okay with plum sauce, you might also want to make tonkatsu sometime if you're craving Asian (though it's not a stir-fry and uses pork, so not this time): http://www.justonecookbook.com/tonkatsu/

You'd use the plum sauce as the sauce for the tonkatsu. I can't think of how you'd use it in a stir-fry...I've always seen it as a dip or sauce added after the food's cooked.[/quote]

Op here.  Thanks so much!  The lemongrass chicken looks delicious.  I am not sure DS will like the flavor (he's picky on top of his allergies, I think because he's had so many bad experiences he's very risk-adverse), but I will definitely make it for DH and I one night and try the leftovers on DS.  The carmalized chicken looks great too and brown sugar is one of DS's favorite things, so maybe I'll try to "sell" that one first.  :)

DS is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts, too.  I could try a sunbutter substitute for peanut sauce maybe -- I'll have to think about that.  (thanks also, and sorry, to the PP's who suggested almond milk.  I should have specified nuts but didn't think about it/just thought I'd leave them out if a sprinkling on top).    I miss Asian food sooooo much.  On our very sporadic date nights, it's what DH and I crave most.

Thanks to 14:36, too.  That is what I was going for, except I was hoping for quantities.  I cook often, though not Asian in a long time, so I can wing it, I guess.  Without the sesame.  [/quote]
