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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Add the gochujang paste to the mixture and continue to whisk until it is thoroughly integrated, resulting in a rich, red mixture.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Continue whisking until all the oil is incorporated and you have a thick, creamy aioli.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Transfer the gochujang aioli to a serving dish or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
