Seoul-ful Paleo: Navigating Korean Menus with Confidence

Craving Korean BBQ or bibimbap but committed to your paleo diet? Korean cuisine’s bold flavors and fresh ingredients offer incredible potential for paleo diners—if you know what to order. While soy sauce, rice, and sugars hide everywhere, mm food transforms your dining experience by scanning menus using AI dietary analysis and instant translation. Here’s how to thrive:

Paleo Pitfalls in Korean Dining

Avoid soy-laden marinades (ask for "gireum jang" or "ganjang" dishes), rice-based staples (bap means rice), and sugary sauces. Kimchi often contains grains or sugar; request traditionally fermented versions. Sticky sauces like gochujang (chili paste) are red flags.

Paleo-Friendly Korean Stars

Seek these typically safe options:

• Gogigui (Grilled Meats): Unmarinated beef (deungsim) or pork (samgyeopsal) with lettuce wraps.
• Jjim (Stews): Galbi jjim without sweet sauce (ask for salt/ginger-seasoned).
• Gui (Grilled Fish): Simple preparations like godeungeo gui (mackerel).
• Saengchae (Fresh Veggie Salads): Cucumber or radish salads minus dressings.
