The list is short and simple, but a few items might be new to you. Don’t worry, I’ll walk you through them and offer easy-to-find substitutes. For a batch that serves 2-3 people, you will need: Luffa: 1 medium (about 1 lb / 450g), also known as angled gourd or silk squash. You can find this in most Asian markets.

Sweet Potato Starch: ½ cup. This is crucial for creating the signature chewy-crisp texture. It’s available in the international aisle of larger supermarkets or at any Asian grocery store.

If you can’t find it, don’t worry! A large English cucumber or two Persian cucumbers make an excellent substitute. Just be sure to remove the watery seeds. A pale green zucchini, unpeeled, would also work beautifully. Fresh Shiitake Mushrooms: 2 large. These provide a wonderful earthy, umami depth.

For this recipe, you’d measure out 50g of all-purpose flour, remove about 1.5 teaspoons, and replace it with 1.5 teaspoons of cornstarch.
