Ingredients- 5 Tbsp creamy mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp wasabi paste
- 0.5 Tbsp salt
- 1 Tbsp vinegar
- 1 Korean chili pepper (Cheongyang chili)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing one Korean chili pepper (Cheongyang chili). Remove the stem and finely mince it. Place the minced chili pepper into a mixing bowl. Add about 0.5 tablespoon of salt to season and enhance the flavors.
Step 2
Next, add approximately 1 tablespoon of vinegar. The vinegar will add a pleasant tanginess, balancing the sauce and enriching its overall flavor profile.
Step 3
Now, for the star of this sauce: add 1 tablespoon of wasabi paste. You can adjust the amount of wasabi according to your preference, but 1 tablespoon offers a stimulating yet not overwhelmingly spicy kick.
Step 4
Generously add 5 tablespoons of mayonnaise. This ingredient is key to the sauce’s creamy texture and rich taste. Make sure to fill the tablespoon measure for the best result.
Step 5
Finally, stir in 1 tablespoon of honey. The honey adds a touch of sweetness, subtly mellowing the wasabi’s heat and adding a sophisticated layer to the sauce’s flavor.
Step 6
Whisk all the ingredients together thoroughly using a whisk or spoon until smooth and well combined. Ensure there are no lumps for a perfectly creamy consistency. Transfer the finished Wasabi Mayo Sauce to a serving dish and enjoy immediately. It’s fantastic as a salad dressing, dipping sauce for fried items, or a spread for sandwiches!
