Gochugaru

Literal Translation
(고추가루) Dried Korean red pepper flakes — the primary source of heat in Korean cuisine. Used in kimchi, soups, stews, and marinades. The heat level varies by producer and region. Fruity in flavour as well as hot — the heat is not as aggressive as some other pepper types.
