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.
- Garlic ChivesSold at Korean and Chinese markets as 'buchu' or garlic chives. Regular chives are much milder — use more.
- Korean PearKorean pears are at Asian markets and many supermarkets in fall. For marinades, a Bosc pear with a little sugar works.
- Whole SesameToasted sesame seeds are in the spice or international aisle; raw ones just need a quick toast in a dry pan.
- Low-sodium Soy SauceAny supermarket soy sauce works here; low-sodium versions swap in 1:1.
