Spice Jungle Korean Chili Flakes (Gochugaru) - 1 oz.

I ordered three of the highest rated chili flakes to make Sichuan red chili oil / Hong You - not knowing which type I would prefer - so I made the recipe and divided it up with some of each brand. This Korean Chili Flakes from Spice Jungle was hands down the winner. Even though the others were tasty, this one had a depth and richness that had more of that thing they call 'umami', and just in general had a more ineffable perfection that hit all the right flavor elements you might look for in this spice. Because I only ordered the 1 oz size for the taste test, I am now going to order the big size so I can make a big batch.

Love it! Is NOT like red pepper flakes. SPICY, HOT & sweet! To me, has a faint smell of pickles to it (maybe was rice wine vinegar used b4 was dried...)Making Kim Chi so this is a must

Love these chili flakes. I put them on avocado toast the most! Beautiful fresh smell, I think the quality is great.

good quality, good taste

Thought it was going to be hotter.

Very good mild enough gochugaru.

exactly what I expected and good quality.

Just the right size for my kimchee!
