    The BEST Spicy Mayo Recipe

    I love recipes that tick certain boxes: easy, quick, and few ingredients. This Spicy Mayo recipe is all of those things, and so much more! Made with 3 ingredients you have in your pantry: mayonnaise, Sriracha, and sesame oil, this condiment is ready in no time at all.

    I added Sriracha instead of regular hot sauce to my spicy mayo recipe because it adds sweetness as well as tang and heat. I also really love the taste of the puréed ripened chilis in the Sriracha sauce. They not only add heat but a pepper flavor. It’s SO good!

    This Sriracha mayo recipe will keep for a long time, and you can use it in many different ways. Try adding it as a drizzle on tacos, burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, and as a dip for fries. I love to use this spicy mayo for sushi and sushi bowls as well. It tastes just like the restaurant version!

    Ingredients for this Spicy Mayo Recipe

    • Mayonnaise: I used regular, store-bought mayonnaise for ease. You can choose your favorite kind: reduced-fat, fat-free, olive oil, avocado oil, or vegan if you want to avoid the eggs. You can even make your own!
    • Sriracha: Made with ripened puréed chilis, Sriracha is a bright red, sweet, spicy, and tangy Asian condiment that you can find in the International aisle at the supermarket.
    • Sesame OilToasted sesame oil is used primarily in Asian cuisine for its delicious, nutty flavor. I just had to add a touch to add that amazing aroma to this dip.
