Sempio Gochugaru Korean Red Pepper Powder Coarse 3kg

Gochugaru (고춧가루), Korean red pepper powder, is a cornerstone ingredient in Korean cuisine, made from sun-dried chili peppers. This coarse-ground version from Sempio has a moderately spicy flavour with a subtly sweet and smoky finish, providing texture and a vibrant red colour to dishes. It is essential for making authentic kimchi, adding a signature kick to stews like sundubu-jjigae, and seasoning vegetables for banchan (side dishes). For a simple dipping sauce, mix a spoonful with soy sauce, sesame oil, and a little vinegar. This large 3kg bag is ideal for home cooks who frequently prepare Korean food or for restaurant use, ensuring a consistent supply for all your culinary needs. It is a fundamental component for anyone serious about cooking Korean food at home, from traditional recipes to modern fusion creations.
