Finding these ingredients in the US
- Perilla LeafKorean markets only, sometimes labeled 'sesame leaves'. Shiso looks similar but tastes different — there is no true substitute.
- 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.
- 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 PotatoKorean sweet potatoes (white flesh, chestnut-like) are at Asian markets — 'Japanese sweet potato' is the same style. Orange yams are much wetter.
