Finding these ingredients in the US
- Dried Shiitake MushroomFresh shiitake are in most supermarket produce sections; rehydrated dried ones give even deeper flavor.
- Sesame OilChoose toasted (dark) sesame oil from the international aisle — light cold-pressed sesame oil won't give the same aroma.
- Sesame SaltToasted sesame seeds are in the spice or international aisle; raw ones just need a quick toast in a dry pan.
- TofuAny supermarket tofu works — pick firm for stews and stir-fries, silken for soft soups.
