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.
- 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.
- Whole SesameToasted sesame seeds are in the spice or international aisle; raw ones just need a quick toast in a dry pan.
- Soy SauceAny supermarket soy sauce works here; low-sodium versions swap in 1:1.
