Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (250 ml) mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml / 0.3 fl oz) minced garlic
  • 3 teaspoons (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) sorghum syrup
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml / 0.3 fl oz) soy sauce
  • Pinch of salt, or more, to taste
  • Make It Vegan: Simply substitute the regular mayonnaise with your favorite plant-based or vegan mayo for an equally delicious result.
  • Fresh is Best: While garlic powder can work in a pinch (use about 1/2 teaspoon / 10 ml / 0.3 fl oz), fresh minced garlic provides a much more vibrant and pungent flavor that truly makes this sauce shine.

Method
 

  1. In a small, non-metallic bowl, add the mayonnaise, minced garlic, sorghum syrup, and soy sauce.
  2. Stir everything together with a spoon or small whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add a pinch of salt, stir again, and taste.
  4. Adjust seasoning with more salt, sorghum, or soy sauce if desired.
  5. For the best flavor, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes before using. This allows the garlic and soy flavors to fully meld into the mayonnaise.
  6. Let It Rest: Don't skip the refrigeration step! This 'melding' time is crucial for the garlic and soy to fully infuse the mayonnaise, creating a much deeper, more cohesive flavor.
  7. Adjust to Your Taste: Feel free to play with the ratios.
  8. Add a little more sorghum for sweetness, a splash more soy for umami, or a squeeze of lime juice for a bright, acidic kick.
