Great spice for Asian cucumber salads

I wanted to make a cucumber Asian salad and required this type of chili powder. I am so glad I found this specific brand. It tastes delicious and has a medium heat level. As a spice fan, it is not spicy. It's a big bag so it is worth the money.

Love it!

While it's has taken me late in life to find this, I put this in everything and I do mean everything.! It's delicious in macaroni & cheese, quesadillas, and i even put it in my candied pecans for a little kick. The value for the money is great. The heat level for me is great. I can definitely take the heat now. When you mix this with a little samjang on a quesadilla it's heavenly. Have this on subscribe and save as I use a lot. The vibrant red color shows you it spicy but not too spicy. I have to say, I use this more than any other spice in the home.

Good product

First, I'm a Korean who is sensitive to chili powder (gochugaru). For making kimchi, good chili powder is the most important thing. First, I tried to find Korean-made chili powder, so I did some research.There was a product called Taekyung, but its origin was China. However, the place that inspects and produces the product is the Korean company Nongshim, so I could trust the quality first.After discussing it with my wife, we decided to buy a small amount first to try it out, so we ordered it. As a result, I was much more satisfied than I expected, and I was able to make delicious kimchi with it. Of course, I bought more later.

Great for making chili crunch

I used this to make chili crunch. Its perfect. It gave it great color and flavor. It does not have a lot of spice to it, so I added some red pepper and smoked ghost for some heat.

So glad to get this on Amazon!

I'm happy to be able to get this product on Amazon! It makes wonderful kimchi! I don't know exactly what makes this different than, say, cayenne pepper flakes, but it does seem to have a darker flavor. This is about the same heat level as good cayenne. Do not use 'crushed red pepper' because that is cayenne mixed with dried red bell pepper to 'water it down.'For great kimchi, mix up a healthy handful of this along with about 3/4 as much rice vinegar and sesame oil combined to make a somewhat thin paste. It's not an exact science; I use the smell to tell me how much of everything is enough. Take a deep whiff; it should make you go, "Mmmmm...." Mix in a good, heavy dose of kosher or pickling salt and spread it all over a variety of chopped veggies, with Nappa cabbage as the dominant veg. I also like grated carrot, coarsely chopped onion and green cabbage. Broccoli works well, but it will maintain its own flavor. The pepper paste may not seem like enough for all your veg, but keep mixing it with your hands until the orange gunk is evenly coated over everything. Now take a taste. The first flavor to hit your tongue should be salt (but not too much salt) followed by a very tiny bite of vinegar and a good, smoldering back flavor of spicy heat. That just tells you that you have made enough paste and in the right proportions; the finished kimchi will taste better than this because the flavors will be married together. The veg should start to make liquid and break down in size. Store the mix in a stainless steel or glass bowl or, better yet, a ceramic crock at cool-to-room temperature for anywhere from 3 days to a week, covered with cheesecloth, stirring everyday to keep the veg moist in the juice. Basements are great places for this. As the mix ages, you should be able to detect a subtle ripening of the smell. You can also taste-test at any point.When the mix is sufficiently fermented (it should smell good, not bad), scoop it into containers and put it in the fridge. Kimchi will last a long time in the refrigerator. It's full of flavor and nutrients, it is vegan and has very little fat. It's a nutritional powerhouse and the taste is fantastic! Hint: try mixing it into some warm spaghetti over low heat (but be careful not to cook the kimchi, which will ruin many of its flavors) or, for non-vegans, use it in place of sauerkraut on a reuben! It is OMG delish!
