Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Chicken recipes

I tried to make an Alfredo sauce with soy milk once and it was a complete flop. However I didn't follow an exact recipe - I tried to make it up myself.

There is a cream of mushroom soup subsitute I came up with myself that turned out much better. I made it twice - once with regular soy milk and once with light soy milk - the regular soy milk turned out WAY better - the light was too thin and didn't have as much flavour. So if you are going to try these recipes, be sure not to use light soy as it may be too watery.

Soy milk definately does not have the same quality as milk when cooking. I think it has a higher water content or something as it doesn't thicken up nearly as well. You might want to try reducing the amounts a little, and adding more ONLY if the recipe becomes too thick.

As for the margaine, I would cut the amounts in half, and/or you could try substituting dry white cooking wine for extra flavour (the alcohol will cook out).

Good luck and let us know if you try any of these!

EDIT: The Chicken Rice Bake would probably be fine because you don't have to cook it/thicken it up first. It's just baked. I wouldn't hesitate to give that one a try!
