A smoother seasoning ingredient

A pantry bag for the meals ahead.

This 1 lb bag holds 454 g of dry chili powder, not ready-made chili paste. Keep it in the pantry for recipes that specify fine gochugaru, and combine it with the other ingredients your recipe calls for.

Put it to work

A smoother mix from the start.

Whisk into a small amount of liquid or sauce before adding it to the pan. This helps spread the powder evenly. Add gradually and avoid scorching dry powder in a very hot pan.

Keep the pepper sealed in a cool, dry place away from light. Follow the storage directions and date printed on the pack. Use clean, dry utensils and avoid steam reaching the open container.

Before you choose.

Is gochugaru the same as gochujang?

No. Gochugaru is dried red pepper in flakes or powder. Gochujang is a fermented chili paste with additional ingredients. Check the recipe before swapping one for the other.

Does grind tell me the heat level?

No. Coarse and fine describe the texture. They are not reliable heat ratings. Start with the amount in a trusted recipe and adjust to your taste.

What should I check on the package?

Check the ingredient statement, origin, storage directions and any allergen or certification information on the pack you receive. Culinary style and growing origin are different things.
