Ingredient substitutions

Soy sauce: Tamari works, though saltiness differs.
Salt: Soy sauce can add saltiness but also changes color and flavor.
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.
