Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 2 small Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Gochujang paste
- 1 cup Sunflower oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Begin by finely mincing the garlic cloves into a paste. This can be done by smashing the garlic with the flat side of a knife and then mincing it repeatedly until smooth.
In a medium mixing bowl, add the egg yolk, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Whisk these ingredients together until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Add the gochujang paste to the mixture and continue to whisk until it is thoroughly integrated, resulting in a rich, red mixture.
Slowly drizzle the sunflower oil into the bowl while constantly whisking. Start with a few drops at a time, increasing to a thin stream as the mixture begins to emulsify and thicken. Ensure that the oil is fully incorporated before adding more. This process should take about 5-7 minutes.
Continue whisking until all the oil is incorporated and you have a thick, creamy aioli.
Season the aioli with salt and pepper, adjusting to taste. If the aioli is too thick, whisk in a few tablespoons of water, one at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Transfer the gochujang aioli to a serving dish or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
