You might know aioli as the fancier version of mayonnaise, but aioli is so much more than that. What makes aioli special is the fact that it has garlic and olive oil in it, both very strong and delicious ingredients. But, why stop there when we can add a twist to it by adding a touch of yuzu kosho?
Yuzu kosho is a citrus-chili condiment paste from Japan. It’s a versatile all-purpose condiment, great for those who like sour condiments with a little bit of a spicy kick.
Yuzu kosho aioli can be used on so many things. Spread yuzu kosho aioli on a sandwich, use it as a dipping sauce for steamed vegetables or enjoy it together with fried snacks. Moreover, the sour-spicy kick of the aioli also agrees with various fish dishes.
