Spicy Mayo Ingredients

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • ⅛ teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice, and toasted sesame oil until completely blended. This creates a smooth and creamy sauce with a balanced spicy flavor.
  2. Taste and Adjust: Sample the spicy mayo and adjust any ingredient to your preference, adding more sriracha for heat, lime juice for acidity, or sesame oil for nuttiness.
  3. Serve: Use the spicy mayo as a dipping sauce or drizzle it over sushi bowls, vegan sushi rolls, or any favorite dish that benefits from a creamy, spicy addition. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute mayonnaise with vegan mayo.
  • Adjust the sriracha quantity to control the heat level.
  • Toasting your own sesame oil enhances the nutty flavor, but store-bought toasted sesame oil works perfectly.
  • Keep the spicy mayo refrigerated and use within one week for best freshness.
  • This sauce also works well as a sandwich spread or for dipping vegetables.
