the flavor wasn't as robust as i thought it should be , but it still earned 4 star.

Very good buy. I've ordered two more, the family really enjoy. We use like salt & pepper, but better.

I ordered this months ago and forgot to use it because I was put off by the huge clump in the bottle, literally 1/3 of the powder had clumped together in the top half of the bottle.And I was unsure if I'd like the taste, because I'm not a huge fan of fish-derived umami flavors.I don't know why it says yeast extract when the ingredients list doesn't include yeast, but does include anchovies and shrimp. Surprisingly the flavors are rather mild and you either need to use a lot, or it will be overpowered by other seasonings.

This is not what I would say Kimchi tastes like. But it has no cabbage or fermented flavor. It has a slightly sour flavor that blends nicely with the salt and spicy blend of ingredients. I put it on chicken and on popcorn. The chicken was decent enough, but I added more of my flavors and garlic. The popcorn was excellent. It really had a sort of "umami" flavor, delicious and made me keep eating more. On vegetables, it blended well with other seasonings to make a really nice casserole.

I have been a fan of kimchee for many years. After my daughter started dating a Korean man, I realized the difference of flavors and varieties. Of course I could never get it right when making it at home. However, I have been able to get a semblance of the complex flavors into other meals with this seasoning. This isn't as spicy as my favorite brand, but it is very flavorful. I like more heat in my meals, but that can be resolved with hot peppers or sauces. This actually is what I would recommend for people on a low carb diet. You can use this on cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli and almost any other vegetable that you can think of. This is definitely a good addition to my spice blends!

Bottle was opened already and someone already used 1/5 of the bottle this is ridiculous

I love most Korean food, including kimchi, but with home-made spice mixes and quick pickling, I can't really emulate what you get in restaurants and stores. Using this spice mix, I certainly got closer. The spice mix by itself is delicious, and fishy. The anchovy and shrimp really stand out. This isn't too spicy, but has a lot of all the right flavors, which is perfect for me. I can always add more chili, but the other flavors are a lot harder to get going from my collection of dry spices.I love that the ingredients list has all of the parts listed. The Yeast fermentation extract goes by many names... autolyzed yeast extract is the more common name, and is just another way of producing glutamates (the primary component in MSG that makes food taste more intense).Overall, $15 is a bit pricy, but I couldn't produce this mix as a dry rub at home, so I think the premium is worthwhile. It does clump a bit, so I don't really think it will last as long as the expiration printed indicates... but if you cook Korean food regularly, this shouldn't go to waste. I may end up re-purchasing this.Ingredients: Radish Extract 31%, Chili powder 15.5%, Glutenous rice paste 11.62%, Garlic 10.33%, Anchovy fish sauce, Salted shrimp, Onion, Salt, Sugar, Plum juice, Green onion, Ginger, Yeast fermentation extract, Probiotics.I ordered this May 2022, and the shaker is marked April 2024, so 23 months expiration from order.
