Vegetarian guide for Korea: more options than you think

Korea's vegetarian scene has grown a lot recently. Here are the best options: Great choices: - 비빔밥 (Bibimbap) — ask for '고기 빼주세요' (no meat please) - 두부 요리 (Tofu dishes) — 순두부찌개 is hearty and satisfying - Temple food restaurants — 100% vegan by Buddhist tradition, truly a special experience - Indian restaurants in Itaewon/Dongdaemun — excellent variety - Vegan cafes are booming in Seongsu-dong and Yeonnam-dong Useful phrases: - '저는 채식주의자입니다' = I'm vegetarian - '고기/생선 안 넣어주세요' = Please don't add meat/fish Apps: Use the 'HappyCow' app — great coverage in Seoul with 200+ listings. Good to know: Traditional kimchi uses fish sauce, but many restaurants now offer vegan kimchi — just ask!
