Finding these ingredients in the US
- Plum ExtractKorean green-plum syrup (maesil-cheong), from Korean markets or online. A little honey plus a splash of rice vinegar is the usual stand-in.
- 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.
- Sesame OilChoose toasted (dark) sesame oil from the international aisle — light cold-pressed sesame oil won't give the same aroma.
- Whole SesameToasted sesame seeds are in the spice or international aisle; raw ones just need a quick toast in a dry pan.
