Ingredient substitutions

Korean rice cakes
There is no close texture substitute; thick udon can carry the sauce differently.
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.
Dried anchovy
Use anchovy broth or a small amount of fish sauce; the result will differ.
Soy sauce
Tamari works, though saltiness differs.
