Ingredient substitutions

Salt
Soy sauce can add saltiness but also changes color and flavor.
Soy sauce
Tamari works, though saltiness differs.
Water
Broth adds more flavor where appropriate.
Gochugaru
Aleppo pepper is a gentler substitute; crushed red pepper works but is usually sharper and hotter.
Korean plum syrup
Use a little honey and rice vinegar, but sweetness and acidity will need adjustment.
