      Hi,
      I am planning to buy hot pepper flakes for making kimchi https://www.maangchi.com/ingredient/hot-pepper-flakes
      Can somebody tell me how much does one cup of Korean hot pepper flakes weight? Of course more or less. I have no idea and for the first time I do not want to buy a huge packaging. Thanks in advance! :)

      Sorry but i haven’t weighed a cup. I can tell you that Assi brand coarse flakes with the Kimchi picture on the label is only about $8/2lbs at my markets.

      I use it for many things because the heat level is so compatible in many dishes.

      Ok, I could not resist the temptation to scoop out a cup (240 ml) of red pepper powder and weight it — 100g / 3.6 oz.

      As Evilgrin mentions — buy red pepper powder that has a picture of kimchi on it. It is ground to the size used for making kimchi. That is the kind of pepper powder I weight. A finer grind of red pepper powder will probably weight more.

      I really like these Assi brand coarse flakes. I use it for tons of stuff. Its mild enough that if you use a little too much it wont light your head on fire and ruin the dish.

      I just used some today mixed with a roasted pineapple sauce on country style ribs.
