A recipe calls for an ingredient I can't find. What now?

Check the substitution table first — it lists workable swaps and is honest about the few that don't work. Korean and pan-Asian markets usually carry the rest; the grocery guide shows what to look for.

Where do the calorie and nutrition numbers come from?

From Korea's public recipe database, supplemented with the RDA National Standard Food Composition Table. They're general nutritional information, not medical advice.

Do I need an account?

No. Searching and reading recipes is open to everyone — a Google sign-in is only needed to save recipes.
