Finding these ingredients in the US
- Chili PowderLook for 'gochugaru' (Korean chili flakes) at Korean or Asian markets. Crushed red pepper is sharper and hotter — use about half if substituting.
- Gochujang (Red Chili Paste)Sold as 'gochujang' in the international aisle of most large supermarkets; Korean markets carry more sizes and heat levels.
- WatercressWater dropwort, at Korean markets in season. Watercress comes closest in flavor and crunch.
- Oligosaccharide SyrupKorean oligosaccharide syrup. Light corn syrup or honey gives a similar sheen and mild sweetness.
- Korean PearKorean pears are at Asian markets and many supermarkets in fall. For marinades, a Bosc pear with a little sugar works.
