Red pepper powder is similar to Korean chili flakes, but you'll usually find this version in restaurant dishes in Korea, since powder is less likely to get stuck in diners' teeth. It's common to find this fiery gochugaru powder in traditional dishes and sauces like gochujang, jjampong, and tteokbokki. Expect a delicious smoky, slightly sweet and spicy flavor in your recipes.
Gochugaru consists of a spicy, sweet, and smoky flavor profile, which makes it a very versatile and widely used spice. Gochugaru is usually only made from sun-dried Korean red peppers called taeyang-cho that have been ground into a fine powder or flakes.
Gochugaru’s widespread flavor profile makes it compatible with a range of different dishes, including cold salads, stews, marinades, and kimchi.
