Ingredient substitutions

Asian pear: Apple or a little fruit juice adds sweetness and moisture with a different aroma.
Green onion: Chives or a small amount of leek can work, with a different flavor.
Gochugaru: Aleppo pepper is a gentler substitute; crushed red pepper works but is usually sharper and hotter.
Garlic: Garlic powder works in a pinch but lacks fresh aroma.
