Just taste how spicy it is, and adjust to your taste. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/is-hot-pepper-powder-same-as-flakes#post-4434 Thu, 13 Jan 2011 10:53:36 +0000 Han Su Rii 4434@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>i always use chili powder. i couldnt find any hot pepper flakes/hot pepper powder. erm...i guess hot pepper powder is the same as chili powder i use. but i agree tht flakes are flakes...its not the same thg as powder. powder has a very fine texture. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/is-hot-pepper-powder-same-as-flakes#post-4291 Tue, 14 Dec 2010 14:50:32 +0000 sirdanilot 4291@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>The flakes give a better result, in my opinion. The powder will make it very spicy, but perhaps you like that, and then it's completely fine. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/is-hot-pepper-powder-same-as-flakes#post-4287 Sun, 12 Dec 2010 22:36:11 +0000 JulieVeg 4287@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I use them both when making kimchi. I prefer powder because it is hotter so I use it more, but I like to add the flakes for texture and color. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/is-hot-pepper-powder-same-as-flakes#post-4285 Sun, 12 Dec 2010 20:52:24 +0000 Patricio 4285@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I've heard people use the term interchangeably, but powder is powder and flakes are flakes and they are very different in how they can affect a dish. Both are indispensable, so you need to have powder and flakes in your pantry at all times. To me, the powder is much hotter than the flakes and turns things a nice chili colored red. The flakes aren't as hot and don't color the food as much. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/is-hot-pepper-powder-same-as-flakes#post-4283 Sun, 12 Dec 2010 16:12:25 +0000 klover 4283@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hi~ Just had a small question.</p> <p>It's kinda stupid &gt;&lt;.. </p> <p>If i wanted to make kimchi, i went to a korean mart and the shop keeper is a korean too.</p> <p>I asked her which ingredient is needed to make kimchi and she passed me the hot pepper powder. </p> <p>Will it be the same as hot pepper flakes?</p> <p>I bought the powder and came back to this site and realised that it's hot pepper flakes that's used.</p> <p>Hopefully it'd be the same ~ &gt;&lt; cause the powder is quite costly ... </p>
