Savor Asia Safely: Your Corn Syrup-Free Street Food Guide
Picture this: sizzling skewers on a Bangkok street corner, fragrant dumplings in Taipei’s night markets, vibrant Vietnamese rolls bursting with herbs. Asian street food is an adventure for the senses—until hidden corn syrup derails your experience. For health-conscious eaters avoiding this common sweetener, navigating menus can feel impossible. That’s where mm food transforms your journey.
Why Corn Syrup Hides in Asian Street Fare
Corn syrup sneaks into sauces, marinades, and dips—think teriyaki glazes, sweet chili paste, or even pickled vegetables. While authentic recipes use palm sugar or honey, modern vendors often opt for cheaper corn syrup. Result? Delicious becomes deceptive for those avoiding processed sugars.
