Halal oriental food :)

[Cristiana]

Salam aleykum,

I recently discovered that my favourite stir fry sauces (chow main, hoisin etc.)contain some sort of meat things... :crying:

Do you know a brand that does halal chinese/japanese sauces? or how do you make your own?

Jazakallah khayran

I've not heard of this problem with sauces, but in the past when I've cooked Chinese food, I've used Soy sauce and sesame oil which are vegetarian.

I absolutely love cooking chinese

Sis, my advice is get yourself the following things, n u'll never need those sauces again hehe inshallah

Dark soy sauce
Light soy sauce
Big bottle of Thai sweet chilli.

The combination of a dash of dark soy with about 2/3 tablespoons of sweet chilli with chicken and peppers is so easy n tasty mmm:hidban:

Hoisin means seafood in cantonese also the brand of "oyster sauce"... used in chinese stir-fries... if that's the meat you referring to...?

[Hafsah]

try supermarkets...they usually have 'v' signs on their own brands..so u can tell if they're vege or not :)

I didn't know hoisin and oyster sauce were the same thing! :up:

I read the ingredients of chow main sauce and there is some "dried chicken" inside :confused:

But yes I should check out the supermarkets own brands.

Try Korean food ... very fresh food and I have seen my Dad's wife slaughter chickens and ducks ... (they don't eat cat ... ;) ) chicken, beef, kim chi, seaweed, fiddle ferns (kosari)... I could go on and on about Korean food ... Love my stepmom ... :inlove:

... the Japanese are also very big on fresh food not laced with the preservatives and sodium that the Chinese use ... Thai and Chinese foods are too saucy and sweet ... I like garlicky and spicy with plain steamed rice ...

Where I live, there is a halal chinese restaurant that serves chinese food and indian food. We just go there when we crave for chinese...

The restuarant makes a lot of money, and is gorgeous inside, MashAllah

"chow" means fry, "mien" means noodle in chinese... so usually when cooking noodles or any other dish in this instance, just add light soy, dark soy (less than the light one), salt, and corn starch mixed with cold water (or stock for extra flavour) to slightly thicken gravy.... you can add sesame seed oil for extra flavour... or sometimes even a bit of sugar...

garlic, shallots, spring onions and ginger also helps in the flavour depending on what ya cooking...

quantity varies accordingly...

Sis, I'm too lazy to search but you're a Chinese revert yes?

Do you know a dish [my mum used to make it], called "Korean Chicken"? I'm not even sure it is Korean, but it consisted of chicken being fried with spring onion/shallots and had some chilli pepper in it. Not too spicey but I loved it.

I can't recall what she fried it in, could be vegetable oil. Would some sesame oil have been used too?

I've tried Googling this recipe but to no avail. As mum added/deleted stuff to her recipes, I'm not sure what else was used. Possibly garlic too.

Anyways, have you made it? I know you're not Korean, but worth a try.

Iggy? And no jokes about adding Canine meat either please. Some of us are dog lovers here! :rolleyes:

Hi Sis,

Ya me chinese... lots to "seek knowledge" from. LOL.

U r right.... I not sure of Korean chicken, but it may be close to a popular chinese dish call "Kung Pau" chicken. its sauce is kind of dark, sticky, sweet, lots of black pepper sauce... i found a few recipes... hope they are what you looking for... else you can google more on it and hopefully you find one that suits your taste...

(Ignore the wine tho')
