Questions for the kitchen#
Confirm the noodle type, other ingredients, sauce and cooking arrangement. A request for a vegetarian version should be confirmed with the kitchen, not inferred from a photograph or an English title.
Using this guide#
The questions are editorial suggestions. A dictionary gloss explains wording; it does not verify a restaurant’s recipe, certify dietary suitability or establish a historical origin. State the ingredients you need excluded and ask the kitchen to confirm the particular dish.
