Finding these ingredients in the US
- 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.
- StarchPotato starch is at most supermarkets near the flours. Cornstarch swaps 1:1 for thickening and coating.
- Soy SauceAny supermarket soy sauce works here; low-sodium versions swap in 1:1.
- BeefKorean markets sell beef pre-sliced for bulgogi and hot pot. Elsewhere, ask the butcher for thin-sliced ribeye or sirloin, or slice semi-frozen beef at home.
