Finding these ingredients in the US
- 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.
- Glutinous Rice FlourSold as 'sweet rice flour' or 'glutinous rice flour' at Asian markets and many baking aisles. Not the same as regular rice flour.
- JujubeDried jujubes (Korean red dates) are at Korean and Chinese markets. In savory dishes, leave them out rather than substituting raisins.
- Whole SesameToasted sesame seeds are in the spice or international aisle; raw ones just need a quick toast in a dry pan.
