Is It a Healthy Choice?

Gochujang Mayo is a small sauce pot, so it’s easy to forget when you add up a meal. Here is how its nutrition looks per serving, so you can decide how much to use.

Calories: At 180 kCal (746 kJ) per serving, this is a moderate amount for a small sauce. It suits anyone wanting extra flavor, but it adds up quickly alongside a main.
Protein: With just 0.80 g per serving, protein is minimal. It won’t contribute much to fullness or recovery.
Sugar: Sugars come to 9.40 g per serving, which is moderate to high for such a small portion. Nearly all of its carbohydrates are sugars, so go lightly if you’re watching your intake.
Fat: Total fat is 14.30 g per serving, which is fairly high. Most people will want to count it as part of the meal’s overall fat.
Saturated Fat: At 1.10 g per serving, saturated fat is low. It isn’t a concern here.
Carbohydrates: Carbs are 11.40 g per serving and mainly provide a little quick energy.
Because sugar makes up most of it, this is a flavor boost rather than a filling source.
Fiber: Fibre is only 0.40 g per serving, so it adds almost nothing for digestion.
Sodium: Sodium is 0.5 g per serving (1.20 g salt), which is moderate. If you’re keeping an eye on salt, use the pot sparingly.

Overall Verdict: Gochujang Mayo is a flavorful extra that’s best used in small amounts. The fat and sugar add up quickly for such a small serving, so dip rather than drizzle.

Is Gochujang Mayo Safe for Your Allergies?

This sauce looks small, but it contains a couple of allergens worth knowing about. If you have an allergy or intolerance, tell the restaurant team when you place your order.

Soya: Soya is listed for this sauce, and gochujang is traditionally made with fermented soybeans. Anyone with a soya allergy should avoid it or check with staff first.
Sulphites: Sulphites are listed as present, so those sensitive to them should ask the team which components contain them.

Gochujang Mayo is a good add-on for anyone who likes a creamy, chilli-edged dip with their starters or crispy bites. Its biggest strength is the way it adds richness and a little sweetness for very little cost. The main drawback is how much it packs into a small pot: the fat and sugar add up quickly, so it’s best used for dipping rather than drizzling. It suits people who enjoy extra sauce and don’t mind sharing the pot. At £1.20, it’s inexpensive flavor, as long as you treat it as a treat rather than a free extra. If you’re building a meal, the Wagamama Full Menu is a handy place to see what else might go with it.
