Finding these ingredients in the US
- Oligosaccharide SyrupKorean oligosaccharide syrup. Light corn syrup or honey gives a similar sheen and mild sweetness.
- RadishKorean radish (mu) is at Korean markets; daikon from any Asian grocery is the closest everyday swap.
- Korean PearKorean pears are at Asian markets and many supermarkets in fall. For marinades, a Bosc pear with a little sugar works.
- JujubeDried jujubes (Korean red dates) are at Korean and Chinese markets. In savory dishes, leave them out rather than substituting raisins.
- Sesame OilChoose toasted (dark) sesame oil from the international aisle — light cold-pressed sesame oil won't give the same aroma.
