Yes, I guess it's flakes of dried chili. But is "chili flake" or "red pepper flake" a specific pepper? Does it include the seeds or not?
I have a recipe (Chinese noodle dish I wanna make, called biang biang noodles. Basically noodles in a chili oil) that calls for chili flake/red pepper flake. The problem is, I don't know what that means. I have gochugaru (Korean chili flake), Aleppo chili flake, and red pepper flakes. I am wondering which to use (or which is proper!). Or is it just totally up to my own personal taste/heat preference?
Also, I feel like my red pepper flakes have way more seeds in them than my Aleppo/gochugaru chili flake has. Is it supposed to be like this?
A long question about chili flakes! Thanks all!
