Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. Gochujang Paste
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 garlic clove grated
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ cup oil such as avocado

Instructions

  • Begin with all of your ingredients at room temperature.
  • In a mixing bowl, add egg yolk. Carefully grate garlic clove over top. Whisk to combine.
  • Slowly pour a few drops of oil into egg and garlic mixture to begin emulsifying.
  • Gradually pour remaining oil in a steady stream, whisking continuously as you go. Once aioli forms, stir in lemon juice.
  • Add gochujang paste and whisk to combine. Taste and add salt if needed.
  • Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • Start slow when adding the oil until they emulsify, then you can increase your speed. 
  • You can easily double or triple the recipe to make more if you need.
  • Room temperature egg yolk will work best for a thick and creamy aioli.
  • This aioli can be served right away, but by letting in sit for an hour in the fridge, the flavors intensify.
