Finding these ingredients in the US
- Green OnionKorean large green onion, at Korean markets. Elsewhere use the white parts of several scallions, or a mild leek.
- 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.
- Soy SauceAny supermarket soy sauce works here; low-sodium versions swap in 1:1.
