Scale

Spicy Mayo Ingredients

  • ½ cup Japanese-style mayonnaise (e.g., Kewpie)
  • 1½–2 tablespoons Sriracha or preferred hot sauce
  • ½ teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice or rice vinegar
  • Pinch of sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Mayonnaise and Sriracha: In a small bowl, mix ½ cup of Japanese-style mayonnaise with 1½ to 2 tablespoons of Sriracha sauce until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
  2. Add Flavor Enhancers: Stir in ½ teaspoon of sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of lime juice or rice vinegar, and a pinch of sugar if using, to balance the flavors and add depth.
  3. Adjust Spiciness: Taste the sauce and add more Sriracha if you prefer a spicier kick. Mix thoroughly after adding.
  4. Chill Before Serving: Transfer the spicy mayo to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld and develop before serving.

Notes

  • Use Japanese-style mayonnaise like Kewpie for a richer, creamier texture and authentic flavor.
  • The sesame oil is optional but adds a subtle nutty taste that complements the spice.
  • Adjust the amount of Sriracha according to your heat preference.
  • The pinch of sugar helps balance acidity and spiciness but can be omitted if preferred.
  • Store leftover spicy mayo in the refrigerator for up to a week in an airtight container.
