Taekyung Chili Powder For Paste (Fine, 5LB) - Korean Gochugaru. Red Pepper Spice Seasoning for Asian Food. MSG Free.

I used this for my kim chi, and it turned out very well. I also use it to add a little kick to my other dishes. Recently, I found a new use for this product - it's very good for keeping coyotes away from my yard! A little goes a long way. I only need to reapply once every 2 weeks, and the coyotes have been giving my back yard a wide berth ever since! Great product, highly recommend.

Only one I'll buy

I’m multiracial, but also a super taster, so I avoided hot pepper most of my life. However, I had a few good “soul food” meals that made me want to branch out, because I really loved the “vinegary” taste of the peppers themselves. Unfortunately, most American chilis taste like skunky shoes to me, and most Asian peppers (I.e., sriracha) were so blindingly hot that I couldn’t taste anything at all. This gochugaru is like a miracle. All the hot pepper flavor with a polite, but respectable amount of heat. Not only do I use it for my Asian meals (chili oil eggs, omg), but I also completely tossed my cayenne and started using it in my Cajun meals as well. It tastes incredible, like a powdered version of Crystal hot sauce, and for American dishes that call for specific “smoky” flavored chilis, a bit of smoked paprika with this works just fine. You can’t go wrong with this lovely pepper. I buy it in bulk and have been using it for years.

As in it a fine powder. Nothing wrong with the product, I should have ordered the flake version for making kimchi. I only post this as a warning to others not to make the same mistake. This is a great brand I used the flake version for making some kimchi and I am trying to find a use for the powder that this is.

It is amazing I tried money chili powder but non of them was spicy like this I love it Make sure to not overdo it I used a little to much in my kimchi now no one is touching it in my family because it became really spicy 🥵

It is very good however don't marinate your meat with it if you are trying to do dry fry it for some reason it make a burn smell, but that is perfect with soup or maybe to marinate after the meat is being barbecued. One notice I fry my meat without oil so maybe if you use oil the burning smell will not happen.

I bought this for a Korean cucumber recipe. I found it has a heat that builds on the palette but works so good in the recipe. I think it will be great in other recipes as well. The item was well packed and received in a timely manner.

I visited Korea once and fell in love with the food. I'm so happy to be able to purchase authentic seasonings like this through Amazon. I highly recommend.
