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.

How mm food Simplifies Your Experience

  1. Instant Menu Translation: Upload a photo or select a restaurant’s menu to get real-time translations in your native language.
  2. Soy-Free Filtering: Input your dietary restrictions (e.g., soy-free, gluten-free) to see AI-curated safe options.
  3. Ingredient Alerts: The app flags dishes with soy-based ingredients and suggests alternatives, like ssamjang-free lettuce wraps or soy-free kimchi.

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.

With mm food, you’ll transform soy-free dining from daunting to delightful. Fire up the grill and dig in!
