YOUR PERSONALISED FOOD GUIDE · S1
Explore where soy connect to local dishes and ingredients, recognise useful names and prepare questions for your next meal.
Typical recipes and products vary. This guide supports your research and conversation; it does not verify an individual meal.
Read the complete meal: its base, sauces, stock, seasonings, coatings, garnishes and preparation. A familiar dish name does not establish the recipe used for the serving in front of you.
This guide keeps every selected food together. A recorded connection identifies something worth checking; a missing connection leaves the ingredient status unknown.
| Part of the meal | What to establish |
|---|---|
| The main ingredients | Check the base, filling, noodles, dough, batter or primary protein against soy. |
| What is mixed in | Check sauces, stocks, premixes, seasoning blends, marinades and bought-in components. |
| How it is prepared | Discuss shared oil, water, equipment, surfaces and utensils separately from recipe composition. |
| Your selection | Type | Recorded coverage |

| Soy | Allergy or food group | 9 North Korea dishes have a recorded connection to investigate. |
Fermented vegetables and seasonings: Baechu kimchi, dongchimi, kkakdugi and Kaesong bossam kimchi are recorded with recipe variations involving fermented fish sauce or salted shrimp. Kimchi products may also contain soy seasonings or sesame. Ask whether the batch uses fish-based seasoning, soy, sesame or a separate seasoning paste, and whether the serving spoon or preparation container is shared.
Rice, grains and soybean dishes: Japgokbap is mixed-grain rice, with barley as a common component. Kongbap cooks soybeans with rice, while kongbiji-jjigae centres on ground soybean. Dububap combines tofu and a typical soy sauce seasoning, with sesame oil noted as common. Confirm the grain mix, seasoning, garnish and any stock rather than treating rice or tofu as a complete recipe.
Soybean Sprouts: Soybean sprouts are germinated soybeans and are recorded as a topping for Pyongyang onban. Confirm whether they are added after cooking or included in a mixed dish, and ask about the stock, sauce and serving spoon used with the topping.

A dish with no recorded connection is unresolved. Do not turn missing catalogue data into a claim that it excludes your selected foods.
Direct foods, derivatives and prepared ingredients are shown together. Use the filters to separate direct forms from recipe-dependent examples.
| Component | What to establish |
|---|---|
| Sauce, stock or dressing | Ask for the complete recipe or original package, including sub-ingredients. |
| Premix or seasoning | Check every flour, flavouring, extract, carrier and blend component. |
| Replacement ingredient | Check the replacement against the complete avoidance list, not only the food it replaces. |

| Your selection | Korean name | Reading |

| Soy | 대두 | daedu |
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| 1 · Find every ingredient list | Read the main product and every separate sauce, soup, topping or seasoning sachet. |
| 2 · Check names and derivatives | Look for soy, recorded forms and compound ingredients. |
| 3 · Read the wider declaration | Check allergen and shared-production wording, and confirm it applies to the exact product and size. |
| 4 · Resolve uncertainty | Ask for the original package or contact the maker. If the information cannot be confirmed, keep the product unresolved. |
Labelling rules vary by country and by how food is sold. A restaurant meal, loose bakery item or repacked food may not carry the same information as a sealed retail product.
| Conversation step | What to establish |
|---|---|
| Explain the complete list | State soy together and explain in your own words whether each is an allergy, intolerance or another requirement. |
| Check the recipe | Ask a chef, manager or another person who can verify every ingredient and bought-in component. |
| Check preparation | Discuss shared oil, water, grills, utensils, work surfaces and substitutions where these matter to you. |
| Confirm the final order | Repeat the agreed version and ask who will verify it when the meal is served. |
A useful questionWhich equipment and utensils will be used for this order?
A useful questionWhat else is cooked in this oil or water?
A useful questionCan we check the ingredients in the prepared sauce, stock or mix?
TRY THIS“I need to avoid soy. Could you check every ingredient in this dish, including sauces, stock, seasonings and garnishes, and tell me how it will be prepared?”
An honest inability to confirm is useful information. Ask which other item the kitchen can explain completely, or choose another venue or packaged product whose ingredients you can verify.
