Cooking tips

  • Make a large batch, portion it out, and freeze for long-term use—just take out what you need whenever you want.
  • Letting it mature in the refrigerator for one to three days allows the powdered seasonings to meld fully and develop a deeper flavor.
  • For an even fierier heat, increase the proportion of Vietnamese gochugaru or cheongyang gochugaru in the blend.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a restaurant-style spicy dadaegi to add to gukbap, noodles, or naengmyeon.
  • Those who want to make a spicy all-purpose seasoning paste once and use it for a long time.
