Hū Sīhuì 忽思慧 (also rendered 和斯輝 in Chinese transliteration; fl. early Yuán, c. 1310–1330), Yuán imperial dietetic physician of likely Uyghur or Western-Asian origin (the surname Hū is non-Hàn). Held the position of Yǐnshàn tàiyī 飲膳太醫 (Imperial Dietary Physician) at the Yuán imperial court from approximately the Yányòu era (1314–) onward, with documented service under emperors Yīngzōng (1320–1323) and Wénzōng (1328–1332).
Sole transmitted work: Yǐnshàn zhèngyào 飲膳正要 (“Essentials of Eating and Drinking”, 3 juan, KR3eo040) — completed and presented to the throne in Tiānlì 3 = 1330, with a presentation memorial by Cháng Pǔlánxī 常普蘭奚 (the Imperial Diary Attendant) and an imperial preface by Yú Jí 虞集 (1272–1348). The work is the principal Yuán-era dietetic-medical text, integrating Chinese dietetic medicine with Mongol imperial cuisine and Persian-Arabic culinary borrowings introduced through the Yuán continental administrative reach. The extracted food-therapy chapter circulates separately as the Shíliáo fāng (KR3eo039).
