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.
- Sesame OilChoose toasted (dark) sesame oil from the international aisle — light cold-pressed sesame oil won't give the same aroma.
- Soy SauceAny supermarket soy sauce works here; low-sodium versions swap in 1:1.
