Description
Gochugaru is a traditional Korean dried chilli flake with a warm, rounded heat and a naturally fruity flavour.
Made from sun-dried red chillies that are deseeded and coarsely ground to 0.5-2mm flakes, it has a vibrant red colour and a gentle chilli warmth rather than sharp heat.
The flakes have a slightly sweet aroma and a soft texture that disperses evenly in cooking.
Heat builds gradually, making gochugaru easy to use in generous amounts without overpowering a dish.
Essential in Korean cooking, gochugaru is used in kimchi, gochujang, stews, marinades, and dipping sauces.
It also works beautifully sprinkled over roasted vegetables, stirred into noodles, or blended into spice pastes where colour and depth are just as important as heat.
