Gochugaru has a few different English names under its belt. Namely, Korean chili powder, Korean chili flakes, Hot pepper flakes, red pepper flakes etc.

Gochugaru is one of the most important Korean ingredients. It is used in gochujang (Korean chili paste), kimchi, spicy Korean soups and stews (e.g. sundubu jjigae) and spicy Korean side dishes (e.g. Korean cucumber salad).

Gochugaru is often vibrantly red in color and it has mild to moderate spicy taste with a hint of sweetness.

However, gochugaru tastes quite different to other non-Korean standard chili powder and chili flakes varieties (e.g. cayenne pepper powder). It is much milder in taste in comparison, so it is best not to substitute with them.

The quality and level of spiciness in gochugaru will vary depending on its origin and its specific farming conditions.

KOREAN CHILI POWDER

This is a finer version of gochugaru. It is used when making gochujang and nabak kimchi. It is also used for some soup and side dishes when you want better color and smooth texture.

KOREAN CHILI FLAKES 

This is a more coarse version of gochugaru and it has more versatile usage in Korean cooking. It is used when making kimchi, and most Korean side dishes and Korean soups and stews.
