- Whisk all ingredients together until fully incorporated and orange in color.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Add more gochujang for more heat.

- For spicier mayo, gradually add more gochujang paste until desired heat level is reached.
- Gochujang mayo makes an excellent condiment for burgers, sandwiches, tacos, fries, nuggets, and more.

- Customize it by adding spices, herbs, garlic, sesame oil, vinegar, etc.
- Keep refrigerated and use within 1 week for best freshness.
