It depends. Cantonese restaurants usually can make dishes ‘low salt low oil’. I sometimes ask for less grease and the staff usually enter the order into the system as ‘low salt low oil’ so the dishes will come back as completely bland (which is not what I want but that’s a different topic). So long that the dish doesn’t require use of soy sauce, pre-marinated meat, then they should be able to skip the sodium effectively, if the chefs remember, that is. Dishes that fit the criteria: e.g. ‘egg-white scallop fried rice’, ‘egg shrimp fried ho fun’. You just have to repeat to the server about 10 times that you want the salt skipped.
