    What is Sriracha Sauce?

    Sriracha Chili Sauce is one of my favorite spicy condiments! If you haven't heard of Sriracha sauce, maybe you've been living under a rock! Has Thai origins, but famously produced in the USA. Made with Chili Peppers and Garlic, so versatile, it goes with everything!

    Ingredients

    • Mayonnaise - choose your favorite creamy mayo
    • Sriracha Sauce - use Huy Fong Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce (the original)

    How to make Sriracha Mayo

    It's incredibly simple to make and you can adjust your spiciness to your perfect ratio blend. For a spicier mayo, use ⅓ cup or more of Sriracha. There is nothing else to add. Sriracha is made from chili peppers and garlic, so you don't need to add more garlic or chili. It's already in the sauce! 

    1. In a small bowl, mix together Mayonaisse and Sriracha Sauce.
    2. Taste and adjust by adding more Mayo or Sriracha to your preference.
    3. Keep refrigerated and enjoy.

    How to Use Sriracha Mayo

    Once you start making homemade spicy mayo, you'll use it on everything! Most commonly used as a dipping sauce, or a spread, however the sky's the limit with these delicious suggestions.

    • Fry Sauce - perfect for dipping your Air Fryer Potato Wedges

    Recipe Tips and FAQs

    • Chill - after mixing, place in the fridge for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld together
    • Too Spicy? - add a teaspoon of Greek Yogurt to mellow out the flavor, and extra added creaminess
    • Thin it Out - for a runnier sauce (less dip but more drizzle) mix in a teaspoon of water

    Sriracha Mayo Variations

    • Cilantro - chop cilantro for a fresh Thai flavors
    • Japanese - use Japanese Mayo and mix in a teaspoon of Miso paste
    • Garlic Explosion - mix through a clove of minced garlic - this is powerful!
    • Asian - mix a teaspoon of soy sauce, lime juice and a teaspoon of honey
    • Mexican - mix through smokey Chipotle spice or add Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce for a Latino twist!
    • Spicy Aioli - substitute Mayo with Aioli

    Storage

    • Fridge - place in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks. Check for signs of spoilage before using.
    • Freezer - not recommended as it changes the texture of the sauce after defrosting.
