Muslim meal refers to the food made by using ingredients and cooking methods that meet the requirements of religious beliefs in accordance with Islamic dietary standards. The ingredients of halal meals usually include animal meats such as beef and mutton, chicken and fish, and plant foods such as beans, vegetables and fruits. In addition, there are some condiments and ingredients, such as onions, garlic, ginger and peppers. In terms of cooking methods, halal meals focus on maintaining the original flavor of the food and avoiding the loss of nutrients in the ingredients due to the use of spicy seasonings or excessive processing.

Hui meal refers to the daily eating habits of people who live in Hui areas or believe in Islam. In addition to following the dietary regulations of Islam, they also retained the dietary habits of some Han and other ethnic groups. There are many kinds of ingredients in halal meals, including animal foods such as beef and mutton, and some plant foods such as vegetables and fruits that Han people often eat, so the cooking methods are also diverse.

Therefore, halal food and halal food are not the same thing, and there are certain differences between them.
