Quick answer
You can still make gluten-free Asian-inspired meals by using the Crispy Chicken Tenders Mix from the discontinued combo and adding your own gluten-free stir-fry sauce or seasoning blend.
Why the Combo Worked and What You Lose
The Gluten-Free Chinese Meal Combo Mix bundled a Crispy Chicken Tenders Mix with other components to create a full Asian-style meal. Without the combo, you lose the convenience of a single package, but you can still achieve similar results by combining individual mixes with a few pantry ingredients.
The main trade-off is effort: you'll need to source or mix your own stir-fry sauce and seasoning. The upside is more control over sodium, spice level, and flavor profile.
What About Other Gluten-Free Mixes?
Mom's Place still offers a variety of gluten-free mixes that can stand in for parts of the discontinued combo. The Crispy Chicken Tenders Mix is the most direct substitute for the fried chicken element. For the stir-fry or sauce component, you can use a gluten-free soy sauce alternative (tamari or coconut aminos) plus garlic, ginger, and a touch of sugar or honey.
If you were using the combo for its seasoning blend, consider building a simple gluten-free stir-fry seasoning from pantry spices: onion powder, garlic powder, ground ginger, white pepper, and a pinch of five-spice powder (check that it's gluten-free).
Diagnosis: Replacing Your Discontinued Chinese Meal Mix
- Symptom: You used to make quick gluten-free Asian meals with the combo mix, but now it's discontinued and you're unsure what to buy.
- Likely cause: The product was a limited-run bundle; individual components may still be available, but the all-in-one convenience is gone.
- Corrective action: Use the Crispy Chicken Tenders Mix for the protein coating, then prepare a simple gluten-free stir-fry sauce (tamari, garlic, ginger, sweetener) or use a certified gluten-free Asian seasoning blend. Pair with stir-fried vegetables and rice. Check labels on any bottled Asian sauces—many contain wheat-based soy sauce.
- Stop or choose another option: If you want a true one-package solution, this approach will not replicate that. Consider looking for a dedicated gluten-free Asian meal kit from another brand, or accept that you'll need 2-3 separate ingredients.
