🥗 Vegan & vegetarian Korea

Kimchi may include shrimp/fish sauce. Broths for noodles and stews often use anchovy or beef. Bibimbap usually comes with meat unless requested.

채식주의자예요 (I’m vegetarian) · 고기·생선 빼 주세요 (no meat/fish) · 멸치 육수 안 돼요 (no anchovy stock).

Balanced, seasonal, no garlic/onion in traditional temple style. Book lunch sittings at major temples or try temple-food restaurants in Seoul.

Seongsu, Hapjeong, and Itaewon have dedicated vegan cafés. Markets: look for mushroom and tofu stalls. Map: food districts.

Triangle kimbap may contain fish cake — read labels. Banana milk, nuts, fruit cups, and some salads are easier wins.
