Spicy Mayo Recipe Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this spicy mayo recipe:

• May, of course! My biggest tip for this recipe is to choose a high-quality mayonnaise. It’s the main ingredient in this sauce, so you can really taste it. I like Kewpie mayo and Sir Kensington’s avocado oil mayonnaise. Sir K is great vegan mayo too. You can also make your own vegan mayo using this recipe.
• Sriracha hot sauce – It adds spice to this spicy mayo recipe!
• Fresh lime juice – For light and tang.
• Roasted sesame oil – It adds a nutty depth of flavor to this simple sauce.

How to Make Sriracha Mayo

My method for making spicy mayo is as simple as mixing these four ingredients together! Start with the measurements listed in the recipe below. Then, taste and adjust the sauce to your liking. Add more sriracha if you want a spicier sauce, add more lime if you want it brighter, or mix in extra mayo if you want to tame the heat. With a little tweaking, it will be easy to find a balance of flavors that you love!

How to Use Spicy Mayo

You can store spicy mayo in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator for about 4 days, so it’s a great sauce to keep on hand to jazz up a simple meal. Here are some of our favorite ways to use it:
