Gochugaru - Korean red pepper flakes - Jook Jang Yeon - 200g

This dried red pepper powder is the ingredient that gives Korean dishes that pretty red color and that typical sweet, smoky heat. These red pepper flakes are perfect for making your homemade kimchi or any other Korean-style fermented vegetable. These high-quality pepper flakes come from South Korea and are packaged by Jook Jang Yeon, to whom we also owe our excellent gochujang. Usage tips : This powder is very frequently used in Korean cuisine as a seasoning for many preparations or dishes, and you will need it for many recipes: kimchi, Jjigae (stews), tteokbokki... For immediate and simple use, I recommend using it to make a salad dressing. Add a few teaspoons of it to a mixture of half water and rice vinegar, with a tablespoon of sugar, a tablespoon of fish sauce and a few cloves of minced garlic! Gochugaru and spicy: On the Scoville scale, this gochugaru is positioned around 2000 Scoville units (SHU), slightly above the Espelette pepper or the Ancho pepper, but below the jalapeño for example. It's all a matter of taste and sensitivity, but this dried chili powder is obviously hot and potent, but more of a hot spiciness than burning. Conservation : Before opening, keep this box dry and protected from light. After opening, keep it in the refrigerator to best preserve the aromas of this exceptional product.
