Add pancake mix, sugar and egg to a bowl and combine. Add 1 cup of milk and stir well, adding water slowly until you get the consistency that you desire.

Can add more milk and less water, if desired.

For pikelets, add less milk/water so the mixture is thicker.

Place noodles in a large bowl, cover with hot water for 5 minutes and drain. Heat oil in a wok or large fry pan and stir fry onions and garlic until onions are soft. Add the chicken mince, stir fry until cooked. Add capsicum, noodles, juice, sauces and bok choy to the pan and stir fry until heated through. Serve with lime wedges.

Most importantly, gluten is in all foods and products containing wheat, barley, rye or oats, so these foods need to be avoided. This obviously means the standard products made from wheat flour such as breads, pastas, biscuits. Note, there are many gluten free substitutes for these foods.
However, gluten may also be contained in foods that you may not expect, such as some brands of corn flour. In order to determine if a product contains gluten, you need to read the ingredients list. It is mandatory in Australia for ingredients containing gluten and other allergens to be specified. The main things to remember when reading labels and ingredient lists are:

• If a product is labelled “gluten free”, this claim overrides the ingredient list and you can be sure that it is gluten free
• If the ingredient list contains any mention of wheat, barley, rye or oats, this food contains gluten. This includes ingredients such as wheat starch, wheaten flour and those with wheat in brackets, eg. maltodextrin (wheat)
• The exception to rule above is that the ingredient “wheat glucose syrup” is OK as it has been so highly processed that it has no detectable gluten
• Malt products like milo, some mayonnaises or malt vinegar, contain barley and therefore, gluten

When in doubt, leave it out.
