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.
- Gochujang (Red Chili Paste)Sold as 'gochujang' in the international aisle of most large supermarkets; Korean markets carry more sizes and heat levels.
- Plum SyrupKorean green-plum syrup (maesil-cheong), from Korean markets or online. A little honey plus a splash of rice vinegar is the usual stand-in.
- King Oyster MushroomKing oyster mushrooms are at Asian markets and many supermarkets. Portobello stems give a similar meaty bite.
- Sesame OilChoose toasted (dark) sesame oil from the international aisle — light cold-pressed sesame oil won't give the same aroma.
