About Yoli Pantry

Home cooking is central to Korean food. It is what you make on a weeknight, or when friends come over for KBBQ. A quick, nourishing meal, or a hearty stew that took all day.

We started Yoli Pantry because we believe Korean flavor belongs in every kitchen. It should be easy to reach for, used across your cooking, from weeknight Korean to anything in between. It is what we know as comfort flavor, and we want to share it, because it is that good.

There is a set of staple pantry items that cover the Korean flavor spectrum, and most home cooks already have all but one of them. (Visit our Bapsang to learn more.)

What We Make

Our flagship product is Soseu, a format solution to gochugaru, Korean red chili pepper. Gochugaru is everywhere in Korean kitchens and foundational to the cuisine, but it is sold mostly in large bags at Korean grocery stores. The taste is irreplaceable. The product is hard to find and only available in bulk. And cooking with it usually means prepping a handful of other ingredients alongside.

Soseu is gochugaru and the kitchen prep, ready to go. Learn more about Soseu here.

We are committed to products you trust and come back to, over and over. Real ingredients, clear flavor. For weeknight Korean and everything in between.

Who Are We?

And when we say "we," it is me, Janet Kim, a home cook with a team of advisors, creative collaborators, and supporters behind this lil' sauce shop.
