Kewpie Mayonnaise

Kewpie mayonnaise is a type of Japanese-style mayonnaise that is made from egg yolks, vinegar, sugar and vegetable oils. It has a richer, creamier taste than the traditional mayonnaise and is often used in salads or as a condiment for various dishes. It is known for its distinctive flavour and creamy texture.

Ingredients

Kewpie mayonnaise is made with four main ingredients: egg yolks, vinegar, sugar and vegetable oils. The egg yolks provide the mayonnaise with its creamy texture and sweetness, while the vinegar adds an acidic bite and tang to the flavour. The sugar gives the mayo a sweet finish, while the vegetable oils add richness and thickness. Additionally, Kewpie mayonnaise can include other ingredients such as salt, mustard powder and monosodium glutamate (MSG).

Korean spicy dipping sauce is high in sodium, primarily because it contains soy sauce, which is a salty ingredient. However, it also contains beneficial compounds such as capsaicin in the gochujang which has been linked to several health benefits such as reducing inflammation and improving digestion. It also contains garlic which is known to have antiviral and antibacterial properties. Although Korean spicy dipping sauce is generally consumed in small amounts as a condiment, people who are watching their sodium and sugar intake should be mindful of how much they are consuming.
