Finding these ingredients in the US
- JujubeDried jujubes (Korean red dates) are at Korean and Chinese markets. In savory dishes, leave them out rather than substituting raisins.
- Shiitake MushroomFresh shiitake are in most supermarket produce sections; rehydrated dried ones give even deeper flavor.
- Low-sodium Soy SauceAny supermarket soy sauce works here; low-sodium versions swap in 1:1.
- BeefKorean markets sell beef pre-sliced for bulgogi and hot pot. Elsewhere, ask the butcher for thin-sliced ribeye or sirloin, or slice semi-frozen beef at home.
