Navigating Low-Histamine Diets at Korean BBQ Restaurants with Ease

Korean BBQ is a beloved culinary experience, combining flavorful meats, vibrant side dishes, and interactive dining. However, for individuals managing histamine intolerance, navigating these menus can feel daunting. The mm food app simplifies this process by translating menus and highlighting dishes that align with your dietary needs. Here’s how to enjoy Korean BBQ while staying low-histamine.

Common High-Histamine Pitfalls in Korean BBQ

Korean cuisine often includes fermented ingredients and aged foods, which are typically high in histamine. Watch out for:

• Fermented sauces: Gochujang, doenjang, and soy sauce
• Aged or marinated meats: Galbi (marinated short ribs)
• Pickled side dishes: Kimchi, pickled radish
• Seafood options: Dried or preserved fish

Low-Histamine-Friendly Choices

1. Fresh Meat Cuts

Opt for unmarinated meats like sogogi (beef slices) or dwaeji bulgogi (pork) if prepared without soy-based marinades. Use the mm food app to confirm preparation methods.

2. Ssam (Lettuce Wraps)

Use fresh lettuce leaves as wraps and skip traditional sauces. Pair with low-histamine veggies like cucumber or perilla leaves.

3. Grilled Vegetables

Request plain grilled zucchini, mushrooms, or onions without seasoning.

4. Safe Banchan (Sides)

Choose non-fermented options like steamed egg (gyeran-jjim) or fresh salad.
