Gochugaru chili oil - Aie Aie Aie - 200ml

The Aïe Aïe Aïe spicy oil combines the distinct character of Korean gochugaru with the lightly lemony notes of Sichuan pepper. Made from French organic sunflower oil, Korean chili, sesame seeds, and a house blend of spices and aromatics, it offers a very balanced aromatic palette with a moderate heat that leaves plenty of room for flavor—in short, everything we love at Korea Store!

Handcrafted in Paris, this chili oil adds a spicy and fragrant touch to everyday dishes. Drizzle a few drops to liven up a bowl of rice, stir-fried noodles, eggs, or soup.

A wonderful encounter between Aïe Aïe Aïe and Korea Store

Our story with Aïe Aïe Aïe began with an ingredient we know well: gochugaru.

The brand's founders have been among our customers for sourcing their Korean chili. We had the pleasure of tasting their oil shortly after its launch, and we immediately appreciated this condiment, its aromatic balance, and the way it elevates dishes without relying solely on heat.

It was only natural that we chose to add the Aïe Aïe Aïe oil to our range, with the desire to help you discover this artisanal creation in turn.

How to use Aïe Aïe Aïe gochugaru spicy oil

Versatile, this chili oil can be used just as well in Korean-inspired recipes as in everyday cooking. Add a drizzle to a bowl of rice, stir-fried noodles, fried eggs, or soup just before serving. It also pairs well with vegetables, salads, and sandwiches, to which it adds a spicy and aromatic note. To customize a bibimbap, spice up a broth, or give more character to sautéed vegetables, start with a small amount and then adjust to your taste.
