Instead of red pepper paste, I made a marinade using red pepper powder and various seasonings to reduce the sodium content.

Finding these ingredients in the US
- Perilla LeafKorean markets only, sometimes labeled 'sesame leaves'. Shiso looks similar but tastes different — there is no true substitute.
- Chili PowderLook for 'gochugaru' (Korean chili flakes) at Korean or Asian markets. Crushed red pepper is sharper and hotter — use about half if substituting.
- Oligosaccharide SyrupKorean oligosaccharide syrup. Light corn syrup or honey gives a similar sheen and mild sweetness.
- Green OnionKorean large green onion, at Korean markets. Elsewhere use the white parts of several scallions, or a mild leek.
- Oyster MushroomOyster mushrooms are at Asian groceries, farmers markets, and many supermarkets.
