Finding these ingredients in the US
- KelpDried kelp — sold as 'dashima' at Korean markets or as 'kombu' at Japanese and health-food stores.
- ZucchiniKorean zucchini (aehobak) is sweeter with thinner skin; regular zucchini works fine in most dishes.
- Garlic ChivesSold at Korean and Chinese markets as 'buchu' or garlic chives. Regular chives are much milder — use more.
- Sesame OilChoose toasted (dark) sesame oil from the international aisle — light cold-pressed sesame oil won't give the same aroma.
- Starch PowderPotato starch is at most supermarkets near the flours. Cornstarch swaps 1:1 for thickening and coating.
