Questions for the kitchen#
The English rendering of 手撕 is an editorial menu translation; the dictionary citation below establishes 包菜 as cabbage. Ask about added meat, fat, sauce and chili rather than assuming a cabbage name describes the entire recipe.
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.
