      Hey there! Is there a fundamental difference between hot pepper paste and hot pepper flakes?

      In my location, it is easier to find hot pepper paste rather than the flakes. Would it be okay to substitute the paste for the flakes in recipes?

      Thanks!!

      Hot pepper paste a complex fermented product made from peppers, among other things. Red pepper flakes are just dried, flaked peppers.
