Finding these ingredients in the US
- Doenjang (Soybean Paste)Korean soybean paste, at Korean markets or online. Miso is milder and sweeter — workable in a pinch, but use a little more.
- ZucchiniKorean zucchini (aehobak) is sweeter with thinner skin; regular zucchini works fine in most dishes.
- Garlic ChivesSold at Korean and Chinese markets as 'buchu' or garlic chives. Regular chives are much milder — use more.
- Shiitake MushroomFresh shiitake are in most supermarket produce sections; rehydrated dried ones give even deeper flavor.
- PorkKorean markets carry thin-sliced pork belly. Supermarkets sell whole belly — slice it thin yourself, or use shoulder for stir-fries.
