Easy. Pour your ingredients, mix, and serve.
Low Carb. Only 2 carbs per serving.
Delicious. Creamy, spicy, and the perfect addition to any burger or sandwich.

Skip the plain, boring condiments and make something fun and exciting! Especially if you're doing low-carb or Keto, you can get tired of the same flavors and foods.

Good news is that you can make SO many sauces to make your food taste different and awesome!

Have You Heard Of These?

Have you heard of Korean Hot Sauce? How about Korean Red Sauce, Bibimbap Sauce, or Korean Fried Chicken Sauce? They're all gochujang.

While it technically can't be considered a hot sauce because of its Scoville units, it still packs a punch

It's a less spicy version of sriracha with an umami flavor due to the aging process it undergoes.

What Is In Gochujang?

Red Chili Powder
Fermented Soybeans
Ground Glutinous Rice
Salt

Some brands of gochujang will include sweeteners such as honey or sugar.

The chili powder will make it red in color to add a beautiful color to whatever food you add it to.

Is Gochujang Spicy?

There are different levels of spice in gochujang. Here are some of the 5 different heat levels in some of the varieties I've tried. It comes in five levels:

Mild Hot
Slightly Hot
Medium Hot
Very Hot
Extremely Hot

Guess which one is my favorite.

What Is In Spicy Mayo?

This Gochujang Mayonnaise is one of our favorite condiments. It takes only a few ingredients and adds killer flavor! So next time you go to make a burger, or sandwich, or wrap, or grilled meat - make Gochujang Mayonnaise (or my Spicy Ketchup is great if you're not a huge mayo fan)! Now, being that this has Gochujang in it it will be spicy. It's not overwhelming and it has amazing flavor, but you've been warned!

I made this recipe specifically to go with the flavor of my Bulgogi Burgers, and it got rave reviews. Have you tried them yet?

What Can I Use Instead Of Gochujang?

Honestly? Nothing. There's not true substitute for Korean Gochujang. It's a wonderful flavor and worth every minute of waiting for it to ship if you can't find it locally.

If you're having trouble finding it, try ordering this Gochujang.

If you simply can't wait to get your hands on Gochujang, you can try substituting Sriracha. It will still give you a spicy mayo, but the flavor profile will not be the same.

Why Make Korean Hot Sauce?

First, it tastes like a dream.

Second. It's full of flavor and is authentic.

Third. If you follow my recipes, you probably already have all of the ingredients.

How Do You Make Spicy Mayo From Scratch?

Gather your ingredients.
Mix them together.
Enjoy!

Seriously. That's it. It's such an incredibly simple recipe but it will amplify anything you choose to eat it on.
