Gochugaru

Korean dried red-chile flakes or powder, commonly sold in materially different coarse and fine grinds.

Shelf-stable

What it is

How we read a bare request for this: Clarify coarse flakes versus fine powder when the recipe or user specifies texture.
Where it is used: Coarse flakes are common for kimchi and many seasoning applications; fine powder can behave differently in sauces and pastes.

Also called

fine gochugaru, Korean red pepper flakes, 고춧가루, Korean red pepper powder, gochugaru

Do not resolve without the stated culinary or product context.

Forms that matter

Coarse flakes Usual form
Coarsely ground Korean red pepper.

Used for: Kimchi and general Korean seasoning where flake texture matters.

Not interchangeable with: generic crushed red pepper; cayenne powder; fine gochugaru.
Fine powder
Finely ground Korean red pepper powder.

Used for: Pastes, sauces, and applications specifying fine grind.

Not interchangeable with: coarse gochugaru; cayenne powder; paprika.

When the dish decides

Kimchi jjigae
Many versions add gochugaru for colour and heat. Practice varies, so the dish name alone does not add it to a shopping answer.

Do not substitute a generic chile powder for gochugaru.

Where to look

Recorded against Gochugaru itself, naming no particular form. A form you go on to choose may be sourced differently.

Plausible lead: worth checking, but the evidence is too indirect for a likely-source claim. A source relationship exists, but present stock has not been established. Evidence applies to this named location. Evidence observation date 2026-08-12 (Pan-Asia Supermarket).

Also: the relationship is plausible lead rather than known

Evidence used for this claim

Confirms the Antioch address and produce, grocery, meat, seafood, dairy, frozen, bakery, and other departments; no exact holy basil or miso item is established.
