Best Chinese Food for Day 1 reintroduction

[SuzSat]

I'm on day 29 of my first Whole30 and have started to plan my re-introduction meals for the week.  I have my husbands 40th birthday party on day 1 of my reintroduction at a Chinese restaurant.  I'm planning on reintroducing legumes on this day, but I know most of the sauces will have sugar & cornstarch (they don't use MSG), is it ok to have these along with the legumes?  How strict should I be with sugar at this point, I know I can order anything steamed, but if I can have a sauce it'd obviously taste a lot better.  Any advice or experience on what to order is greatly appreciated!

I recently did Asian food and found it was actually super hard because soy sauce contains gluten, and most of the sauces contain cornstarch or rice flour as well, so you end up with a three-for.

Have you thought about ordering the legumes steamed at the restaurant but bringing coconut aminos with you to substitute ordering a sauce at the restaurant? I've often brought coconut aminos to restaurants with me! No shame in my game  Big Tree Farms makes a 'Gingery Lime' coconut aminos that would be great for this occasion!
