Finding these ingredients in the US
- Chili PowderLook for 'gochugaru' (Korean chili flakes) at Korean or Asian markets. Crushed red pepper is sharper and hotter — use about half if substituting.
- Gochujang (Red Chili Paste)Sold as 'gochujang' in the international aisle of most large supermarkets; Korean markets carry more sizes and heat levels.
- WatercressWater dropwort, at Korean markets in season. Watercress comes closest in flavor and crunch.
- ZucchiniKorean zucchini (aehobak) is sweeter with thinner skin; regular zucchini works fine in most dishes.
- Sesame OilChoose toasted (dark) sesame oil from the international aisle — light cold-pressed sesame oil won't give the same aroma.
