Korean flavor, made with care since 1979

Taekyung is a Korean food company, founded in 1979. Our gochugaru is sun-dried red pepper and nothing else, ground two ways for the kimchi, stews and sauces you cook at home.

Taekyung and Shin Ramyun

The vegetable flakes in Shin Ramyun are made by Taekyung.

Nongshim Taekyung makes the vegetable flakes for Shin Ramyun and supplies soup ingredients and seasonings for Nongshim's ramyun. Our gochugaru comes from the same company.

Our gochugaru

One ingredient, done right

Our gochugaru is ripe red pepper, dried in the sun the traditional way and ground to two cuts: coarse flakes for kimchi and a fine powder for gochujang and soup. Nothing else goes in: no added MSG or additives. That is how it keeps its bright red color, its medium heat and the authentic Korean flavor home cooks look for in kimchi.
