Hi, I’m Daniel Gray. I’m a Korean-American storyteller, tour guide, and food expert who’s passionate about sharing Korea’s rich culture with the world. Over the years, I’ve hosted travelers, curated immersive tours, and appeared on shows like Netflix’s Street Food: Asia – Seoul. My goal is simple: to help you connect deeply with Korea through meaningful experiences, delicious food, and unforgettable stories.
Protein is 단백질 (not 담백질). ^^;;; I usually translate 담백하다 as 'light', but in a different sense from volume. For instance a light salad can be literally translated as 가벼운 샐러드, but 담백하다 is usually used for cooked foods. I like the 'clean' translation as well, although I've never heard it actually used in English. What western dishes would be described as clean?
i always thought it meant meaty and not greasy tasting because 담백질 means protein.
