I've been on a mild kimchi spree and when I showed my product to a
lady at the office, she said it wasn't authentic because I used red
pepper flakes instead of powder.

Since there is a Korean market just around the corner, I went there
and bought the smallest containor (1 pound) of GoChuKaRow.

Can I use this as if it were simply a hotter version of paprika with
other dishes? - Mike
