Gochugaru uses for a Korean pantry
Use Korean chili flakes to season a dressing or sauce; adjust the amount rather than assuming every brand has the same heat.
What to try
Oi muchim: mix flakes into the cucumber dressing.
Dubu jorim: distribute them in the braising sauce rather than leaving dry piles on tofu.
Sundubu jjigae: follow the recipe heat level; add less for the first batch.
Make a small adjustment, then check the result before changing the whole batch.
