I wanna eat real and authentic Chinese food and not Panda Express.The problem is that most of these types of restaurants cook with oil and ingredients that I cannot consume.

 

I also wanna eat authentic Japanese food but there's sake or rice wine in many of their foods and I cannot consume alcohol.

I just do not consume it because my religion forbids the consumption of it.

Yeah.. doubt it. There are 5000+ Chinese joints in NYC alone. Though I'm glad the authentic stuff is being embraced.

Double-edged sword. I don't need more competition for my meals.

?? What foods are you talking about because none of their noodle soups/dishes, yakitori, takoyaki, karaage, okonomiyaki, tempura, tonkatsu, gyoza, kushiyaki, miso soup, etc. contain sake or rice wine.

I can really only eat seafood and vegetarian food of other cultures unless they sacrifice land animal meat in a way that is acceptable by my religion. I also cannot eat pork. So that disregards most of those dishes you mentioned.

 

Unfortunately, many Japanese restaurants that I've tried to eat from happened to use sake or rice win in their noodle soups/dishes or they said that they weren't sure if they used that ingredient. So I didn't take the risk.

Honestly, I don't see chinese restaurants changing anywhere outside of big cities or outside of the west and northeast. Americanized asian food is why i don't ever buy food from them unless there's no food in the house and I don't want to order pizza.

Mirin (rice wine) is used as one of the ingredients for marinating eggs for ramen.

Are you Muslim by any chance? I think shojin ryori cuisine is better suited for you. It's Japanese traditional Buddhist vegetarian cuisine and does not use any alcohol in their meals. Unfortunately though you have to go to Japan to eat shojin ryori cuisine and they can be quite expensive. 

 

And this guide gives info on halal/Muslim-friendly Japanese food https://www.fun-japan.jp/my/articles/3084though the guide is referring to foods prepared in Japan. Japanese food in America or overseas may add to the ingredients which may or may not be suitable for your religion.

 

(Btw if you ever go to Japan there's a place called Shinjuku Gyoen Ramen Ouka and it is completely run by Japanese Muslims, so if you ever want Halal ramen, that is where you want to go)

Yes, I am Muslim. That is pretty much why I cannot eat most Japanese foods here in America because they decide to to add ingredients that are not suitable for me.

 

I really appreciate you providing a Halal guide for me, though I may never end up going to Japan to try their authentic cuisines.

 

Thank you anyways!
