    About This Recipe

    Gochujang Aioli is a versatile Korean sauce that can be used for dipping and spreading. This cheat’s version of this sauce is easy, creamy, and takes hardly 5 minutes to prepare.

    This super-addictive sauce gets its spicy flavor from Gochujang (Korean chili paste), which is cut by the creaminess and slightly sweet taste of mayonnaise, resulting in a beautiful flavored Gochujang aioli sauce. The fermented flavor of gochujang adds a subtle tangy taste to the spread.

    Gochujang aioli is spicy and tangy and making it at home has many benefits. Homemade sauce is free of any added chemicals and artificial colors. It is also much more economical to make at home. Plus you can control the spice level as per your taste preference.

    This sauce is vegetarian and gluten-free.

    You can easily double or triple this recipe as per your requirement.

    You can use any mayonnaise of your choice – eggless, full-fat, low-fat, all works fine.

    Choosing sour cream is also totally up to you. Choose low-fat cream or full-fat sour cream as per your liking.

    Gochujang, the star ingredient adds a spicy taste and due to its fermented property, it gives it a slightly tangy taste too. You can adjust the quantity of Gochujang, as per the spice level you need.

    Add in fresh garlic, to enhance the taste even more.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is Gochujang?

    A Korean red chili paste, Gochujang is commonly used in Korean cooking to spice up the dishes. This thick and sticky paste is prepared with glutinous rice, fermented soybeans, red chili pepper flakes, salt, and sometimes sweeteners.

    Due to its fermented nature, Gochujang adds a pungent flavor along with a spicy taste to the recipes. The spice level can be different depending upon the various brands, so select the paste according to your spice level.

    Which mayonnaise is best to use in this recipe?

    If you can get your hands on Korean mayo or Kewpie Japanese mayonnaise, it complements the Gochujang really well. They might be available in the Asian section of the grocery stores.

    But in case you do not get it, you can use the regular American mayo for this sauce. You can even try using an eggless mayonnaise for an egg-free version.

    Usage Suggestions

    Gochujang Aioli is a super versatile sauce that can be used as a spread for your burgers, sandwiches, wraps, and hot dogs or used as a dip for your appetizers, potato fries, wedges, or even vegetable sticks. It tastes great with roasted pork, bacon, and chicken.

    It can be used to marinate chicken, fish, shrimp, or other meat. You can even make your boiled eggs or omelet breakfast a little more delicious, by adding a little aioli to them.

    Storage Suggestions

    Gochujang Aioli can be stored in an air-tight container for about 4 to 5 days, in the refrigerator. Use a clean and dry spoon, every time you take out the sauce from the container, and make sure to close the lid properly again.
