Finding these ingredients in the US
- Gochujang (Red Chili Paste)Sold as 'gochujang' in the international aisle of most large supermarkets; Korean markets carry more sizes and heat levels.
- Sesame OilChoose toasted (dark) sesame oil from the international aisle — light cold-pressed sesame oil won't give the same aroma.
- Whole SesameToasted sesame seeds are in the spice or international aisle; raw ones just need a quick toast in a dry pan.
- Starch PowderPotato 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.
