    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is Gochujang?

    A Korean red chili paste, Gochujang, is commonly used to spice up dishes in Korean cooking. 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 and a spicy taste to the recipes. The spice level can differ depending on the various brands, so select the paste according to your spice level.

    Which mayonnaise is best to use in this recipe?

    Try to get your hands on Korean mayo or Kewpie Japanese mayonnaise; it complements the Gochujang well. They might be available in the Asian section of grocery stores.

    But if you do not get it, you can use 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 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. Adding a little aioli can make your boiled eggs or omelet breakfast a little more delicious.

    Storage Suggestions

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