In the video, Mike starts with the biggest ingredient: mayonnaise.

He explained that viewers should put a cup of mayonnaise in their mixing bowl — specifically Hellman’s, so that the final flavor most closely resembles McDonald’s.

The second food on his list was a quarter cup of sweet pickle relish.

Then I added two tablespoons of Düsseldorf mustard.

Then add a teaspoon of white wine vinegar.

The fifth ingredient was a quarter teaspoon of paprika. Mike added that this had to be regular paprika, not smoked.

Then powders were added, which flavored the sauce.

Mike explained that one teaspoon of onion powder and one teaspoon of garlic powder should be added to the bowl, and that no grains of either should be used.

The eighth ingredient was an eighth teaspoon of white pepper. Mike emphasized that you should not use black pepper in place of white pepper for this recipe.

The next product was an eighth of a teaspoon of sugar.

The final additions were small pinches of turmeric and MSG, so that gourmets can enjoy a hint of umani flavor.

After you have placed all 11 ingredients in a bowl, mix everything together.

Mike added that you should refrigerate the recipe for 30 minutes before you plan to eat it, and then give it a good stir again before serving.

The chef concluded his video by inviting viewers to compare the homemade sauce to McDonald’s, then reiterated that his own recipe is the most accurate, thanks to this experience for the global brand.
