According to the Celiac Disease Foundation, an estimated 1 in 100 people worldwide are affected by celiac disease, requiring a strictly gluten-free diet. Finding delicious and healthy sources of carbohydrates can be a challenge, but many satisfying options exist that have carbs but no gluten, including whole grains, legumes, and starchy vegetables.

Over 20% of Americans seek gluten-free products, and breadcrumbs, a kitchen staple, can be a major source of gluten. Learning what you can use instead of breadcrumbs for gluten-free cooking opens a world of new textures and flavors for coatings, binders, and toppings. Many common pantry items offer delicious and practical alternatives without sacrificing crunch or structure.

Traditional jajangmyeon, a beloved Korean-Chinese comfort food, is not gluten-free due to its two main components: thick wheat-based noodles and the fermented black bean paste, *chunjang*. However, those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity can still enjoy this popular dish with a few simple, informed ingredient substitutions.
