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.
- Doenjang (Soybean Paste)Korean soybean paste, at Korean markets or online. Miso is milder and sweeter — workable in a pinch, but use a little more.
- ZucchiniKorean zucchini (aehobak) is sweeter with thinner skin; regular zucchini works fine in most dishes.
- Soup Soy SauceAny supermarket soy sauce works here; low-sodium versions swap in 1:1.
