Here’s a simple Jain-friendly approach to enjoying Chinese food:

• Core Jain rules to follow:

- No meat, fish, eggs, or animal-derived ingredients. - No root vegetables (potatoes, onions, garlic, carrots, etc.)—use leafy greens, mushrooms, or non-root vegetables. - Avoid strong, hidden animal-derived flavors (some sauces may contain animal products).

• How to order or choose dishes:

- Ask for “no onion, no garlic” (no O/G) and confirm no hidden animal ingredients. - Request dishes made with vegetables only, without meat-based broths or fish sauce. - Prefer steamed or stir-fried vegetables with plain oil (avoid butter if it’s not vegetarian in your crowd) and simple seasonings. - If tofu or paneer is used, ensure they’re prepared without any meat stock or non-vegetarian additives. - Avoid egg-based preparations (and ask for egg-free options if needed).

• Practical tips when dining out:

- Check sauces and flavorings: soy sauce, oyster sauce, and stock can contain non-vegetarian ingredients; ask for alternatives or request a separate, clean sauce. - Call ahead or speak to the chef/server to confirm all ingredients meet your Jain restrictions. - When in doubt, choose a dish labelled as vegetarian and then verify no onion/garlic and no root vegetables.

If you’d like, tell me the city or restaurant you have in mind, and I can help you craft a simple no-onion-no-garlic Jain-friendly order for that place.
