Draft:Kosher Chinese cuisine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kosher Chinese cuisine is Chinese cuisine (more typically, American Chinese cuisine) prepared in accordance with Jewish Kashrut (Kosher) dietary laws. Chinese cuisine is "unusually well suited to Jewish tastes because, unlike virtually any other cuisine available in America, traditional Chinese cooking rarely uses milk products."[1]

United States[edit]

Jewish patronage of Chinese restaurants likely originated during the 19th Century, when large populations of European Jews and ethnic Chinese both migrated to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York City.[2]

Consumer protection laws typically require restaurants advertising themselves as Kosher to display their rabbinic certification.
