Ingredient substitutions

Napa cabbage: Bok choy or green cabbage can work in some cooked dishes, but texture and water content differ.
Korean radish: Daikon is the closest common option; it may be milder or more watery.
Garlic: Garlic powder works in a pinch but lacks fresh aroma.
Green onion: Chives or a small amount of leek can work, with a different flavor.
Red chili pepper: Use a mild red pepper or a small amount of chili flakes; heat will vary.
