In the video, Mike started off with the biggest ingredient serving, which is mayonnaise.

He explained that viewers should put one cup of mayonnaise in their mixing bowls – specifically Hellman’s, so that the final taste has the closest comparison to McDonald’s. 

The second food item on his list was one-fourth of a cup of sweet pickle relish.

Adding two tablespoons of Dusseldorf’s mustard was next.

After that, one teaspoon of white wine vinegar should get added.  

The fifth ingredient was one-fourth of a teaspoon of paprika, and Mike added that it should be regular and not smoked.  

The next additions were the powders, that help provide the sauce’s flavor.

Mike explained that one teaspoon of onion powder and one teaspoon of garlic powder should get added to the bowl, and that neither should be granulated.

The eighth ingredient was one-eighth of a teaspoon of white pepper, and Mike emphasized to not use black pepper instead of white for the recipe.

The next product was one-eighth of a teaspoon of sugar.

The final additions were tiny pinches of turmeric, and MSG, so that foodies can enjoy a little punch of umani-flavoring. 

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

Mike added to make sure that you refrigerate the recipe 30 minutes before you’d like to enjoy it, and then give it a good mix one more time before you serve it. 

The chef concluded his video by inviting viewers to compare the D.I.Y. sauce to McDonald’s, before he emphasized once again that his recipe is the most accurate one due to this experience for the global brand.
