1/2 lb. sausage, or more to your taste
1 onion (chopped)
2 sections garlic (finely chopped)
2 tablespoons celery
1 tablespoon parsley
1 lg. bay leaf
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper , or to taste
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 teaspoons cumin

did I just see a recipe for jambalaya??

Bring the spices with you or be prepared to spend a lot of money maybe getting them on the grey market.

There doesn't appear to be any rice in your Red Beans & Rice recipe.

Things that are available: red beans, onions, garlic, celery, parsley, bay leaves (albeit you have to buy enough to last 5 years).

The availability of sausage depends on the kind you want to use. Costco in Yangjae has Cajun sausage.

Red pepper is universally available here but not in the form you want. Bring it along with the cayenne and cumin. (You can get cumin in Itaewon and at Yangjae Costco.)

Try substituting Tobasco sauce for cayenne.

you can get all those ingredients in the orange mart in juyop, ilsan. its the second to last stop on the orange line.

they really have the best selection of spices and herbs i have seen since i arrived here. all pretty resonably priced too!

There is a tiny store in Changwon (near Busan) that sells cumin and other spices (coriander, tumeric, ect.) to the Southeast Asian expat community.

Your vegetables should be easy to get anywhere (not sure about fresh parsley though). However, anything you can't get at Emart you can get at the foreign market just up the hill next to What the Book in Itaewon. And, unlike Costco, you don't have to buy a year's worth and spend 50 bucks on herbs.

That's assuming you're in Seoul.

Mondays is red beans and rice day.
