Spicy Mayo Recipe
Spicy mayo has become a culinary staple in many kitchens. It's ubiquitous in sushi rolls and a great accompaniment to burgers, sandwiches, and even salads.
Equipment
- Bowl
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons spicy sriracha chili sauce
- ½ teaspoon soy sauce
- ⅛ teaspoon nutty roasted sesame oil
- A pinch of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- ½ cup creamy mayo
Instructions
Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
- Start by assembling all your ingredients on the counter. Having everything in one place will make the process more efficient.
Step 2: Mix the Sauce
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ½ cup creamy mayo, 2 tablespoons spicy sriracha chili sauce, ½ teaspoon soy sauce, and a pinch of garlic powder.
Step 3: Add Flavor Enhancers
- Incorporate the ⅛ teaspoon nutty roasted sesame oil and 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice. These components will elevate the flavor and add complexity.
Step 4: Blend and Adjust
- Using a whisk or a fork, blend all the ingredients thoroughly. Taste the mixture. If you want more spice, add an extra splash of sriracha. If it’s too spicy for your liking, add a touch more mayo.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
- Let the spicy mayo chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. This resting time allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Then, it’s ready to serve!
Notes
- Start Small: If you're uncertain about spice levels, start with less sriracha. You can always add more.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh lime juice and good-quality mayo significantly enhance the flavor.
- Experiment: Try different spicy sauces like chipotle mayonnaise or harissa for variety.
- Storage: Store the leftover spicy mayo in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
- Serve It Cold: Dipping sauces like spicy mayo are often best enjoyed cold, so make sure to chill it properly.
