Ingredient substitutions

Brown rice
White short-grain rice cooks softer and has less nutty flavor.
Hijiki seaweed
Another firm sea vegetable can work, with a different mineral flavor and texture.
Gim seaweed
Nori is the closest common option, though roasting and seasoning may differ.
Egg
For binding, use a commercial egg replacer or a small starch slurry; the flavor and texture will change.
Toasted sesame oil
Perilla oil is different but works in some Korean dishes.
