Finding these ingredients in the US
- Glutinous Rice FlourSold as 'sweet rice flour' or 'glutinous rice flour' at Asian markets and many baking aisles. Not the same as regular rice flour.
- Korean PearKorean pears are at Asian markets and many supermarkets in fall. For marinades, a Bosc pear with a little sugar works.
- Sesame OilChoose toasted (dark) sesame oil from the international aisle — light cold-pressed sesame oil won't give the same aroma.
- 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.
