What is this ingredient?
Gochugaru (koreanisches Chilipulver) ist etwas schwieriger zu beschaffen, denn in Korea bevorzugt man oft das Chilipulver, das von Familien auf dem Land selbst angebaut und in der Sonne gut getrocknet wurde. Deshalb gibt es in diesem Bereich oft keine besonders bekannten Marken. Da ich es nicht immer aus Korea mitbringen kann, kaufe ich Gochugaru meist in koreanischen Märkten in Frankfurt oder Düsseldorf. Auch bei Go Asia findet man Gochugaru der Marke "Ourhome". Ich selbst bestelle jedoch häufig über den koreanischen Online-Shop https://handokmall.de/kr.
