Ingredients
11 servings
- •235 g Greek Yogurt (Nonfat)
Plain Greek yogurt — nonfat (0%) or low-fat (2%). Not regular yogurt.
- •30 g Mayonnaise, Light
- •20 g Gochujang, Korean Red Chili Paste
- •10 g Soy Sauce, Low Sodium
- •5 g Sesame Oil, Toasted
- •15 g Lime Juice, Fresh
- •5 g Garlic Blend, Seasoning
Instructions
- 1Add the nonfat Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, and garlic blend to a medium mixing bowl.
- 2Whisk all ingredients together for 1–2 minutes until the sauce is smooth and no streaks of gochujang remain visible.
- 3Taste the sauce and add more gochujang in small increments (½ teaspoon at a time) if you prefer more heat, whisking thoroughly after each addition.
- 4Divide the sauce evenly into 11 small airtight containers or jars (approximately 2 tablespoons per container) while the mixture is still at room temperature.
- 5Refrigerate sealed containers for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and deepen.
- 6Store sealed containers in the refrigerator for up to 10 days; stir thoroughly before each use, as the sauce may separate slightly during storage.
Notes
Built on the Greek Yogurt Sauce Base. Gochujang varies widely in heat by brand — start with the lower amount and work up. Use on grain bowls, as a wing glaze, burger sauce, or noodle dressing. The sesame oil is small but essential — it carries the Korean flavor signature.
