Soy-Free Survival at Korean BBQ Spots
Korean BBQ is a culinary adventure, but for those avoiding soy, it can feel like navigating a minefield. From marinades to dipping sauces, soy sneaks into countless dishes. With the mm food app, you can savor the sizzle without the stress!
Why Soy-Free Dining at Korean BBQ Is Tricky
Soy sauce, doenjang (fermented soybean paste), and soy-based marinades are staples in Korean cuisine. Dishes like bulgogi, galbi, and even side dishes (banchan) often contain hidden soy derivatives.

Pro Tips for Soy-Free Success
- Ask staff about grilled meats without marinades (e.g., plain pork belly).
- Opt for rice-based sides like steamed rice or japchae (if made without soy sauce).
- Use the app’s custom restriction feature to avoid cross-contamination concerns.
