Dreaming about the Spicy Mayo you love at the sushi place? Well, this Spicy Mayo Recipe and Video is just what you’re looking for! Perfect for Sushi, burgers, dipping and more!
I LOVE Spicy Mayo. Like love it. I always have a jar of it in my fridge. Always.
SPICY MAYO RECIPE
The perfect sauce to make for sushi or any seafood. To be honest, I love it with grilled seafood so much, not just raw sushi.
Another favorite way to use this spicy mayo recipe is to slather on your burger buns. It’s such a good burger sauce!
Use it as a dip. It’s the best dipping sauce with fries or veggies.
And finally, use it to make Poke bowls —So good! While I don’t have a Poke bowl on the blog, it’s something similar to those Fajita Bowls. The difference is you’ll swap fajita ingredients with sushi ingredients!
This mayo recipe is probably one of the simplest and easiest sauces you’ll ever make, and it only uses three ingredients.
Ingredients
- Mayonnaise (You could also use a vegan alternative for a vegan spicy mayo)
- Sriracha Sauce (use a good quality Sriracha because it will show on your sauce)
- Rice Vinegar
- Water is optional if you like a thinner sauce.
HOW TO MAKE SPICY MAYO
In a small bowl, you’ll start with the mayo. Next, you’ll add the Sriracha sauce and vinegar and mix well.
The amount of Sriracha you’ll add here will probably depend on how spicy you can go. However keep in mind that the Sriracha sauce is very powerful in terms of flavor and can over power the mayo sauce.
So if you want the classic spicy mayonnaise sauce, don’t be tempted to add more Sriracha.
Speaking of flavor, I often find adding a touch of other non traditional ingredients can kick up the sauce tremendously.
Variations include adding:
- Soy Sauce
- Sesame Oil
- Chilli sauce
- Lime Juice
- Salt
- Chinese Spice
- Chilli powder
- Cayenne pepper
- garlic powder
While these may not all sound super traditional to the simple classic spicy mayo, they often add a unique taste which you’ll love! I rarely however add all of these at the same time.
Often times I’ll add a touch of soy sauce and sesame oil. Other times, I may add lime juice and sesame oil. Or chilli sauce and soy sauce only. Or lime juice and spice. Either way, the sauce tastes utterly delicious!
