Kimchi Mayo

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.
