Finding these ingredients in the US
- Doenjang (Soybean Paste)Korean soybean paste, at Korean markets or online. Miso is milder and sweeter — workable in a pinch, but use a little more.
- 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.
- Sweet PumpkinSold as kabocha squash at most supermarkets, especially in fall. Butternut squash is wetter and sweeter but works.
- Sesame OilChoose toasted (dark) sesame oil from the international aisle — light cold-pressed sesame oil won't give the same aroma.
- TofuAny supermarket tofu works — pick firm for stews and stir-fries, silken for soft soups.
