Reply To: How to use hot chili powder

Hi! I did the exact same thing a few years ago when I was in your spot. The powder is not used very often in cooking, so here’s what I did so it would not go to waste. I went out and bought another bag, this time the right kind. Coarse flakes! All the kimchi I made for the next year got one half powder and one half flakes. The deep red color was very nice and the flavor was great. I also used it in all the seasoning sauces for fried tofu for that whole year too. It’s really good! Now that it is all used up, I might go buy some more. :)
