I love mayonnaise solo but it can be even more versatile and zingy when spiced up with something like kimchi. Kimchi adds a slight heat, not overwhelming, that really links up beautifully with the eggy notes in mayonnaise. Use this on burgers, grilled chicken, fried eggs, a BLT, roasted vegetables, cabbage slaw or a chopped vegetable salad. I make this and keep it, covered, in the door of my fridge when I need some variety or a healthy boost of flavor from an unusual place. Don’t want any extra heat? Simply omit the hot sauce.

This looked so interesting on the show, and I had all the ingredients, so I wanted to try it. Like Alex, I love mayo on it’s own, and this really kicked it up. Delicious as a quick chip dip. I plan to try it in coleslaw and as a sandwich/burger sauce as well. Alex mentioned soy sauce, not Worcestershire, on the episode, I may see if using soy sauce changes it significantly.
Flavor B-O-M-B! and a very unique flavor profile! This is exceptional with roasted cauliflower bites!
LOVE this recipe! Used the last of my homemade “Emergency Kimchi”, and substituted rice wine vinegar for the red wine vinegar! Great with fries or crackers or whatever! Excellent!
