Have some gochujang (Korean chili paste) in your kitchen and wondering what to make next? Bring your sandwich spread to life with gochujang aioli. It works well on both vegetable and meat-focused sandwiches. And the heat? Since the gochujang is cut with mayo, it’s much more family-friendly than you may think. It’s spicy, but very eatable. And the fermented flavor behind gochujang gives a subtle tangy twist to the spread.

There’s more to gochujang aioli than use as a sandwich spread. Like most aiolis, it’s actually very versatile. Try it as a dipper for vegetable crudite (we particularly like it with cauliflower). Use it as an alternative to ketchup on hamburgers or as a uniquely tasty condiment for fried calamari (and other fried fish). It’s really tasty, too, as a side to hard boiled eggs. Yes, even breakfast can be made better with this delicious spicy condiment.
