Say this to the waiter (Korean)
면은 절대 빼주세요. 양념장은 따로 주시는데, 간장, 식초, 고춧가루만 따로 주실 수 있을까요?
Absolutely no noodles, please. Could I have plain soy sauce, vinegar, and gochugaru on the side for dressing?
Watch out for
Sugars in the dressing (gochujang, fruit juices, or syrups often found in Korean cold salads), hidden sugars, starchy vegetables, or actual noodles if not explicitly omitted.
