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.
- Plum ExtractKorean green-plum syrup (maesil-cheong), from Korean markets or online. A little honey plus a splash of rice vinegar is the usual stand-in.
- Sesame OilChoose toasted (dark) sesame oil from the international aisle — light cold-pressed sesame oil won't give the same aroma.
