  • Umei - 8 Gochugaru mayo

Our Gochugaru Mayo is no ordinary condiment. Inspired by the punchy flavors of Korean fried chicken, it’s a creamy, umami-loaded mayo with a slow-building kick from authentic Korean chili flakes. Think rich, savory depth with just the right amount of heat. Slather it on burgers, swirl it through grain bowls, or use it as a dipping sauce that’ll have you licking the spoon. It’s bold, crave-worthy, and anything but boring.

Ingredients

Non-GMO Australian canola oil, water, rice vinegar, pea protein, salt, organic shiitake mushroom powder, Gochugaru chilli powder 1%, chilli powder, yeast extract, garlic, onion, seaweed powder, natural gum (xanthan) and rosemary extract.
