Local ingredient swaps
Use these options when the original ingredient is unavailable. Flavor and texture will change; these swaps have not been tested in our kitchen.
| Korean ingredient | Local option | How to use it | What changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Korean regular soy sauce | Regular, unsweetened soy sauce | Start with about three quarters of the listed amount and adjust after cooking. | Saltiness varies. Sweet soy sauce and thick dark soy sauce change the result. |
| Korean green onion | Scallions / spring onions | Use the listed weight; add pale stalks before delicate green tops. | Thin scallions cook faster than thick Korean green onions. |
| Toasted sesame oil | A bottle labelled toasted sesame oil | Use the listed volume; use a separate neutral oil where the recipe calls for cooking oil. | Untoasted sesame oil and neutral oils do not give the same finishing aroma. |
Ingredients and allergies
Check product labels: soy sauce can contain wheat, kimchi and fish cakes can contain seafood, and miso or tofu contains soy. Ingredient swaps do not automatically make a dish gluten-free, vegetarian or allergy-safe.

Your shopping checklist
Quantities are for the original recipe and its listed servings. Swaps are optional: use the table above to adjust, and do not buy both choices unless needed. Check what you already have.
Look in the produce and refrigerated aisles first; check an Asian grocery or online seller for Korean specialty ingredients. This is a shopping guide, not a live stock or delivery check.
