Is Sichuan Sauce Halal?
HARAM
This is marked impermissible because the ingredients explicitly include alcohol in the mirin seasoning: “Mirin Seasoning (Water, Glutinous Rice, Alcohol, Glucose, Sugar).” Alcohol used as an ingredient in a cooking sauce is not allowed, and intoxicants are prohibited in Quran 5:90-91. The flavour enhancers 631 and 627 can also have source questions, but the alcohol alone already decides the ruling here.
