## Description

Red chili pepper flake ("gochugaru" In Korean) is one of the key ingredients in Korean cooking. It cannot be replaced with chili flakes or sauces from other cultures when cooking authentic Korean food. Koreans select their Red chili pepper flakes carefully because it is possible to get unclean and unsafe materials in the flakes during the production process. Many Koreans source their Red chili peppers directly from a farm they personally know, or purchase from a reputable company. The color is bright Red. This is a decent product if you are looking for more affordable Red chili flakes.

Review: I love Kimchi and am originally from the states where I used to shop at a fantastic Korean market where you could actually buy Korean pepper flakes from Korea, not China. So needless to say I used to bring back the real Korean HOT pepper flakes. I have only been able to find the mild pepper flakes here in the UK. I recently finished the last amount of the real stuff from Korea so I decided to try this brand. I made my kimchi 3 days ago and it's been fermenting on my counter top. I just tasted it and it's utterly delicious and it's super spicy! I can't believe it. So as others have said, the more you add the spicier it will be. Mine is perfect for my taste. I was going to give it only 3 stars but having tasted my kimchi I can't do that. I know it's from China but the stuff form Korea isn't available here in the UK so in the end I'm really glad I tried this. The pepper powder is packaged in Korea so they are the country who is approving this to sell with their Korean brand name on it. They do have high standards in Korea so you can trust these pepper flakes do the job well! When this damn pandemic is over I'll travel back to the states and buy the Korean stuff again! But in the meantime I'm really happy with these pepper flakes. Btw, even H Mart here in the UK only sells the stuff from China so there's really no other option in the UK. Also, the ready made brands of Kimchi that are available here are terrible and full of sugar. I've been to Korea twice and believe me they don't have sugar laden sweet kimchi there. The real stuff is super spicy! Yum! I'm so thankful to have a brand new batch of spicy kimchi on hand. Will make more next week now that I know I like these pepper flakes! :)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this made in Korea?**
A: Grown in China, processed and packaged in Korea. I would give it a pass and pay the premium for the Korean grown stuff. Cant speak for difference in quality but if you know anything about groundwater contamination and farming practices in China the Korean grown stuff starts looking a lot less expensive.

**Q: Could red pepper flakes from a regular American grocery store be substituted for this?  How are they different?**
A: It's a different type/breed of pepper. American red pepper flakes typically use dried jalapeno pepper or cayenne peppers. Gochugaru is a Korean red chili pepper (called  taeyang-cho). Is you sub the flakes, your dish will taste "fine", but it won't taste authentically "korean" - just my opinion. It'll taste like a spicy soup, or spicy meat, or whatever you're making like a fusion-style cuisine. I would never sub the flakes. Once you take a sniff of the Korean gochugaru you will know the difference - there is a sweetness, smokiness and depth to the flakes. Hope this helps.

**Q: Can this be kept in the refrigerator for long?**
A: I've keep it in refrigerator for 2 years at a time. Still great.

**Q: How many cups of chili flakes does this contain?**
A: There are 5.66 cups of flakes in the package based on the service size info on the package. 1088 quarter teaspoons is 272 teaspoons. Plus that into a converter to get 5.66 cups.

As someone who loves to experiment in the kitchen, especially with Asian cuisine, NONGSHIM TAEKYUNG Korean Chili Powder has become a staple in my pantry. This chili powder brings an authentic and vibrant flavor to my dishes that is hard to match. First off, the quality of this chili powder is outstanding. It has a rich, deep red color that signals its freshness and potency. The texture is perfect—not too fine and not too coarse—making it easy to incorporate into various recipes, whether I'm making a marinade, a stew, or just adding a sprinkle to spice up a dish. The flavor profile of NONGSHIM TAEKYUNG Korean Chili Powder is what truly sets it apart. It has a balanced heat that adds a pleasant kick without overwhelming the palate. There’s also a subtle smokiness and sweetness to it that enhances the complexity of the flavors in my dishes. It’s particularly great for making kimchi, bulgogi, or any Korean-inspired dishes that call for a bit of heat. One of the things I appreciate most about this chili powder is its versatility. It’s not just limited to Korean cuisine—I’ve used it to add depth and spice to a variety of dishes, from tacos to soups to roasted vegetables. It always delivers a flavorful punch that elevates my cooking. Another plus is the packaging. The resealable bag keeps the chili powder fresh for a long time, and the design makes it easy to store without taking up too much space. The bag is sturdy and prevents any accidental spills, which is always a bonus in a busy kitchen. In conclusion, NONGSHIM TAEKYUNG Korean Chili Powder is a must-have for anyone who enjoys cooking with bold, authentic flavors. Its high quality, versatile use, and fantastic flavor make it a standout ingredient in my spice collection. Whether you’re an experienced cook or just starting to explore Korean cuisine, this chili powder will add that perfect touch of heat and depth to your dishes. Highly recommended!
