Don’t be deterred by the vibrant red chilli powder. The Korean chilli powder used in this recipe is very mild and doesn’t make a dish particularly hot, instead it has a slight smoky flavour and the fruity-sweet note. That is why they are used in such large quantities. It is a staple in Korean cuisine that can be found in most of Korean grocery stores.
