Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
Instructions
Place the aquafaba, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, gochujang, garlic cloves, and salt into a blender or food processor.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
With the blender or food processor running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil in a steady stream. The mixture will start to emulsify and thicken as you add the oil.
Continue to slowly add the oil until the aioli reaches a creamy, mayonnaise-like consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more gochujang for extra spice or more salt to taste.
Transfer the aioli to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve as a condiment or dipping sauce. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
