Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by soaking the raw cashews in warm water for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results. This will soften them, making them easier to blend into a smooth aioli.
Step 2
Once the cashews are softened, drain and rinse them thoroughly.
Step 3
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, water, gochujang, lemon juice, garlic clove, maple syrup, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides several times to ensure everything is well combined.
Step 5
Taste the aioli and adjust seasoning as needed. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a tablespoon of water at a time until the desired texture is reached.
Step 6
Transfer the aioli to a serving jar or bowl. It can be served immediately or chilled for about 30 minutes for enhanced flavors.
Step 7
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
