Korean BBQ Rub

Gochugaru is not just chili pepper — this Korean chili flake has a fruity, almost sweet undertone that you rarely find in Western peppers. Combined with warm ginger and roasted sesame, it creates a rub that is spicier in a different way than anything else in our range.

The heat builds up more slowly and is accompanied by a fruity sweetness that further enhances the ginger and sesame. More complex than an average spicy rub, and precisely for that reason, loved by those who have already tried many flavors.

What makes the Korean rub special?

Most people know chili heat as flat and intense. Gochugaru works differently: the heat builds up gradually and is guided by a fruity sweetness. Ginger adds warmth, roasted sesame adds depth. The result is a rub with its own character — distinctly Korean, but surprisingly versatile on the BBQ or in the oven.

Dosage

• Skinless chicken thighs: 65g per 1.5 kg of meat
• Chicken wings: 60g per 1.5 kg of meat
• Pork & tofu: rub generously, rest for at least 30 minutes

How to use the Korean rub?

Pat the meat dry, rub generously, and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Grill over indirect heat until the internal temperature reaches 70–72°C for chicken. The gochugaru and sesame give an aromatic, slightly crispy crust with a Korean character.
