Gochugaru Chile Flake

The spicy taste of many Korean foods largely comes down to one key ingredient: gochugaru (red chile flakes or red pepper powder).

Gochugaru has a complex flavor profile with spicy, sweet, and slightly smoky tastes, and heat level may vary from mild to very hot in varieties made from Cheongyang chile peppers. packaged in a small zip lock. #chili
