Ingredient substitutions

Hijiki seaweed
Another firm sea vegetable can work, with a different mineral flavor and texture.
Garlic
Garlic powder works in a pinch but lacks fresh aroma.
Ginger
Ground ginger works in a pinch but is sharper and less fresh.
Soy sauce
Tamari works, though saltiness differs.
Gochugaru
Aleppo pepper is a gentler substitute; crushed red pepper works but is usually sharper and hotter.
