Ingredient substitutions

Gochujang: Combine miso, gochugaru, and a little sweetener for a functional substitute. It will not reproduce the same fermented flavor.
Onion: Shallot or leek works with a different aroma.
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.
Soy sauce: Tamari works, though saltiness differs.
