Beautiful red threads of chilli are a traditional Korean flavouring and garnish. Dry Mild Chilli Threads are two to three inches long and are reddish brown with a mild heat and a smoky, grassy flavour. Known as sil-kochu in Korea. Lightly toasting the chilli threads brings out the flavour and aroma. Traditionally used in the preparation of kimchi or as a garnish on ramen. They're also used to flavour soups and stews. They make a beautiful garnish on seafood ceviche or with steamed mussels.
