Description

Gochujang Mayo is a quick and flavorful Korean-inspired condiment that combines creamy mayonnaise with spicy, tangy gochujang, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Perfect as a dipping sauce, sandwich spread, or drizzle for an added kick of umami-rich heat.


Ingredients

Gochujang Mayo Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp whole-egg mayonnaise (check for gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 tsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • ½ tsp sesame oil
  • ½ tsp rice vinegar


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the whole-egg mayonnaise, gochujang, sesame oil, and rice vinegar until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
  2. Adjust Flavor: Taste the mayo and adjust the seasoning by adding more gochujang if you prefer extra heat, or add a little more rice vinegar for increased tanginess.
  3. Serve or Store: Use the gochujang mayo immediately as a sauce or spread, or transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Ensure the mayonnaise used is gluten-free if you have dietary restrictions.
  • Gochujang varies in spiciness and sweetness depending on the brand; adjust quantity accordingly to suit your taste.
  • This sauce works well as a dip for fries, a spread for sandwiches, or a topping for grilled meats and vegetables.
