Gochugaru, also known as Korean chili powder, is chili powder or flakes used in Korean cuisine. The name gochugaru derived from Korean gochu-garu (gochutgaru), where gochu means chili pepper and garu means powder. It has a vibrant red color, the texture may vary from fine powder to flakes, and heat level from mildly hot to very hot. Traditionally made from sun-dried Korean red chili pepper, gochugaru has a complex flavor profile with spicy, sweet, and slightly smoky tastes. Gochugaru is a key ingredient in many Korean dishes, such as tukbokki (spicy rice cakes), meat and seafood stews, kimchi chigae (kimchi stew), and all kinds of kimchi. It can also be added to dipping sauces, dressings, marinades, and other sauces. Also gochugaru finds its uses in gochujang (Korean chili paste) & spicy Korean soups and spicy Korean side dishes.
