From the company that made the first kimchi paste comes this tangy hot sauce that captures the chili-funky flavors of kimchi in a bottled condiment.

While you can buy kimchi in most stores these days, this is the first hot sauce that captures its vibrant flavors in a versatile condiment. This vibrantly red hot sauce showcases the fruity, friendly heat of aromatic gochugaru chile flakes grown in China that are the base of many kimchi pastes, but focuses on fresh flavors over fermented funk. Fresh-pressed ginger juice adds a sweet-spicy brightness, while the acidity and fruitiness of the lime helps the fruity chili flavor to pop. But Neither overpower the actual chili flavor. And a hint of garlic adds the perfect base note to keep everything grounded.

We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
The sauce’s flavors pair well with East Asian and Southeast Asian flavors—like our Korean-Style Noodle Soup with Shrimp–but it’s equally at home with burritos, tacos, braised or grilled meats and the other usual suspects. It’s also wonderful drizzled on summery grilled or fried dishes like our Fish Tacos with Lime-Pickled Jalapenos. We especially like using it to amp up a marinade or salad dressing: For a super simple and crunchy salad, toss diced and smashed cucumber, blanched and shocked green beans, and fresh tomato with kimchili sauce and salt to taste.
