Ingredient substitutions
- Tofu
- Use the closest available tofu texture. The result may be more fragile or firmer than intended.
- Kimchi
- There is no exact substitute. Sauerkraut plus gochugaru can provide acidity and crunch, but the flavor will be different.
- Green onion
- Chives or a small amount of leek can work, with a different flavor.
- Garlic
- Garlic powder works in a pinch but lacks fresh aroma.
- Sugar
- Honey or rice syrup works with a small texture change.
