Taekyung Chili Powder For Kimchi (Flake, 1LB)

As someone who loves to experiment in the kitchen, especially with Asian cuisine, NONGSHIM TAEKYUNG Korean Chili Powder has become a staple in my pantry. This chili powder brings an authentic and vibrant flavor to my dishes that is hard to match. First off, the quality of this chili powder is outstanding. It has a rich, deep red color that signals its freshness and potency. The texture is perfect—not too fine and not too coarse—making it easy to incorporate into various recipes, whether I'm making a marinade, a stew, or just adding a sprinkle to spice up a dish. The flavor profile of NONGSHIM TAEKYUNG Korean Chili Powder is what truly sets it apart. It has a balanced heat that adds a pleasant kick without overwhelming the palate. There’s also a subtle smokiness and sweetness to it that enhances the complexity of the flavors in my dishes. It’s particularly great for making kimchi, bulgogi, or any Korean-inspired dishes that call for a bit of heat. One of the things I appreciate most about this chili powder is its versatility. It’s not just limited to Korean cuisine—I’ve used it to add depth and spice to a variety of dishes, from tacos to soups to roasted vegetables. It always delivers a flavorful punch that elevates my cooking. Another plus is the packaging. The resealable bag keeps the chili powder fresh for a long time, and the design makes it easy to store without taking up too much space. The bag is sturdy and prevents any accidental spills, which is always a bonus in a busy kitchen. In conclusion, NONGSHIM TAEKYUNG Korean Chili Powder is a must-have for anyone who enjoys cooking with bold, authentic flavors. Its high quality, versatile use, and fantastic flavor make it a standout ingredient in my spice collection. Whether you’re an experienced cook or just starting to explore Korean cuisine, this chili powder will add that perfect touch of heat and depth to your dishes. Highly recommended!

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.

Beautiful, fresh, vibrant Chili Pepper Flakes. I'm buying another one now.

This pepper powder has an amazing flavor! It’s not really a powder like the bottle says, but it’s more finely ground than the typical red pepper flakes you’d find at Italian restaurants or in the grocery store. To me it has a hint of smokiness, and an overall more intense and interesting flavor over regular red pepper flakes. It’s not overpoweringly hot, but it is hotter (in a good way) than regular red pepper flakes. Its not that slow kind of burn heat, but rather hot for a moment, and then gone. Perfect for then you’re eating a fair amount of whatever you’ve used it on. I initially bought this to use to make some banchan, but have since used it on all kinds of things, and its great on just about everything. It’s partially good with hummus, and as an inclusion to various marinades, but you’ll probably find yourself sprinkling it on lots of stuff, and being happy that you did. In looking at the first picture, you may assume this is a standard size spice bottle, but it’s not, its pretty large, and even using it regularly, this should last a substantial amount of time. At quick glance it looks like this is really high in calories for a spice, with 90 per serving. But upon more review, that’s based on only 7 servings per container. Unless you’re running a catering business, there’s no way you’ll only get 7 servings from this, its easily more like 100+ servings for most people. I’m very happy with this purchase. If you’re debating giving this a try, I strongest suggest you go for it.

Not what I expecting when ordered but absolutely love the flavor. May end up being my replacement red pepper flakes

Safe packaging, great quality, excellent value, exactly what I expected!!

Up the flavor of your cooking with this delish and versatile Korean blend. I love a teaspoon of this on vegetables with a splash of soy sauce. It Improves the flavor of soup. For example also a teaspoon of this in your summer homemade pickles Wow! And of course use in your Asian cooking. In short order you will know how much to use based on your tolerance for “heat” Not the same as jalapeños- it imparts it’s own unique flavor which is why it’s fresh and exciting in the kitchen. We use it almost everyday. This pouch with an easy to use seal is just perfect too.

I love Kimchi and am originally from the states where I used to shop at a fantastic Korean market where you could actually buy Korean pepper flakes from Korea, not China. So needless to say I used to bring back the real Korean HOT pepper flakes. I have only been able to find the mild pepper flakes here in the UK. I recently finished the last amount of the real stuff from Korea so I decided to try this brand. I made my kimchi 3 days ago and it's been fermenting on my counter top. I just tasted it and it's utterly delicious and it's super spicy! I can't believe it. So as others have said, the more you add the spicier it will be. Mine is perfect for my taste. I was going to give it only 3 stars but having tasted my kimchi I can't do that. I know it's from China but the stuff form Korea isn't available here in the UK so in the end I'm really glad I tried this. The pepper powder is packaged in Korea so they are the country who is approving this to sell with their Korean brand name on it. They do have high standards in Korea so you can trust these pepper flakes do the job well! When this damn pandemic is over I'll travel back to the states and buy the Korean stuff again! But in the meantime I'm really happy with these pepper flakes. Btw, even H Mart here in the UK only sells the stuff from China so there's really no other option in the UK. Also, the ready made brands of Kimchi that are available here are terrible and full of sugar. I've been to Korea twice and believe me they don't have sugar laden sweet kimchi there. The real stuff is super spicy! Yum! I'm so thankful to have a brand new batch of spicy kimchi on hand. Will make more next week now that I know I like these pepper flakes! :)

Estoy muy contenta con la calidad y de encontrar productos en gran formato.

Ottimo per fare Kimchi, ha un buon sapore ma non si vede la provenienza!

Muy bueno para hacer kimchi y otras comidas

Acheté pour faire mon kimchi. C'est une réussite le goût est comme le kimchi en pot que j'achetais chez le chinois. Attention car il est fort ( et donc economique) 3 cuillère à soupe pour un chou chinois complet suffisent.
