Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons gochujang
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 small garlic cloves, grated
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the gochujang and vinegar until smooth.
  • Add mayonnaise and garlic and whisk to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Notes

Storage Instructions: 
For the fridge, store this gochujang mayo in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. We don't recommend freezing this sauce since it could affect the texture once thawed.
Tips:
  • Make the gochujang from scratch. We have an easy recipe for the home cook to make it right at home if you desire!
  • Choose a high-quality mayonnaise. If you are using store-bought mayonnaise be sure it's high quality. We like Duke's, Hellman's or Sir Kensington.
  • Grate the garlic on a microplane. This ensures it's finely minced so there aren't any lumps of garlic in the sauce. It also helps the flavor infuse the sauce better since it's finely chopped.
