Directions for making Spicy Garlic Aioli
In a jar that just fits the head of your immersion blender, add egg, lemon juice, sriracha, or gochujang, garlic, MSG, salt, and pepper.
Place your immersion blender into the container. Gently pour the oil into the container.
Turn the immersion blender on high speed; do not pulse or move the head. As mayonnaise begins to form, slowly tilt and lift the head of the immersion blender incorporating more of the oil into the mayonnaise emulsion. Continue until all oil is emulsified. Season mayonnaise to taste with salt, pepper, or other ingredients.
Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
