Mix this chili powder with glutinous rice paste first to achieve better color development before adding to your kimchi vegetables. The medium grind allows the seasoning to penetrate perfectly into cabbage, cucumber, or radish kimchi. Use approximately 50g of powder per head of cabbage for authentic flavor and vibrant red color.

This versatile seasoning works excellently in kimchi stew, Korean pork stir-fry, and spicy soup bases. Many customers at Korean grocery Portugal use it to add authentic color and heat to bulgogi marinades and Korean-style fried rice. You can also sprinkle it over grilled meats or mix into dipping sauces for enhanced flavor.

This product pairs perfectly with garlic, ginger, fish sauce, and glutinous rice paste when making traditional fermented vegetables. It complements sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice vinegar in marinades and dressings. For those shopping at Asian market Porto, combining it with Korean pear or apple creates the perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavors.

Store the powder in an airtight container in the refrigerator after opening to maintain freshness for over a year. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its vibrant color and potent flavor. The 500g size is optimal for fresh usage, providing enough seasoning for approximately 10 heads of kimchi while maintaining quality through proper storage.
