I sometimes make Bulgoki where I use Kimchi powder - the Korean chilli powder Gochugaru.

However, I can only buy Gochugaru in one kilogram bags. Due to this, I can only get to use about one-third before the expiration date. Does anyone know if I can freeze the Gochugaru in individual portions?

  • I think the real question you want to ask is how much freezing it might extend the lifetime. – Cascabel Apr 20 '12 at 13:02

There's no reason why you can't freeze it. Just try and expel as much air as possible from whatever container you're storing it in for maximum longevity.
