Navigating Korean BBQ with a Low-Histamine Diet: Your Ultimate Guide
Korean BBQ is a beloved culinary experience, but for those on a low-histamine diet, it can feel overwhelming. Fermented sauces, aged meats, and pickled sides often dominate the menu—ingredients that can trigger reactions. With the mm food app, you can confidently enjoy Korean BBQ by translating menus instantly and identifying safe dishes tailored to your dietary needs.
How It Works
- Translate Menus Instantly: Use the app to scan or upload a Korean BBQ menu, and get an accurate translation in your native language.
- Set Dietary Preferences: Select low-histamine diet from preset restrictions or add custom ingredients to avoid (e.g., soy sauce, fermented pastes).
- AI-Powered Analysis: Our AI cross-checks menu items against your restrictions, highlighting safe options like unmarinated meats (e.g., 소고기 구이/grilled beef) and fresh vegetable wraps (쌈).
Low-Histamine Korean BBQ Tips
- Choose Unmarinated Meats: Opt for 생고기 (raw, unseasoned meat) and avoid prolonged marinades with soy sauce or vinegar.
- Skip Fermented Sides: Swap kimchi for fresh lettuce, cucumbers, or steamed vegetables.
- Verify Broths: Request 무조미료 (no MSG) and avoid soups with fermented bases like 된장 (doenjang).
With the mm food app, you’ll savor Korean BBQ without the stress—explore flavors safely and enjoy every bite!
