Ingredient substitutions
Salt
- Soy sauce: Use only as a dip seasoning, not as a marinade, to keep the grilled pork simple.
Sesame oil
- Vegetable oil: The dip will lose the toasted sesame aroma but still carries salt and pepper.
Garlic
- Green onion: Use extra green onion on the grill for a sweeter aromatic bite.
Green onion
- Garlic: Use a small amount because garlic is sharper and less sweet than grilled green onion.
Black pepper
- Salt: Use less salt in the dip if pepper is unavailable.
