Soy-Free Burmese Street Food Survival Guide
Craving authentic Burmese street food but avoiding soy? You're not alone. Soy sauce, fermented bean pastes (like pè ngapi), and tofu feature heavily in dishes like mohinga and shan noodles. Hidden soy can turn a delightful meal into a health hazard. That's where the mm food app becomes your essential travel companion.
Here’s how it works:
- Enter "soy-free" in your dietary restrictions (or add a custom allergy).
- Scan or upload a Burmese menu.
- Our AI instantly translates it to your language AND highlights safe dishes, red-flags soy ingredients, and suggests trustworthy alternatives.
Soy-Free Street Picks (Always verify using mm food!):
- Grilled Skewers (like chicken seik thar kway)
- Coconut Noodle Soup (ohn no khao swè, request no fried soy toppings)
- Fresh Salads (e.g., gin thoke, but avoid soy-based dressings)
- Sticky Rice with banana or coconut (check for soy sauce glazes)
Pro Tip: Burmese tamarind-based sauces are usually soy-free—mm food helps spot authentic versions! With real-time translation and allergen alerts, explore Yangon’s night markets or Mandalay’s tea shops confidently. Don't let soy fears dim your culinary adventure—trust mm food to savor Burma safely.
