Ingredient substitutions

Spinach: Swiss chard or bok choy works with a different texture.
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.
Perilla seed powder: Ground sesame can add nuttiness, but the aroma and thickness will differ.
Sesame seeds: Omit if necessary; the dish loses some aroma.
