What is Sriracha Mayo?
Sriracha mayo is a spicy and creamy condiment made with sriracha, a chili pepper-based hot sauce originating from Thailand and popular in Vietnamese cuisine. Sriracha and mayonnaise are combined to make a hot condiment that’s balanced with creamy mayo, like in yum yum sauce.

- Sriracha – I always, always use Huy Fong sriracha. I’ve been eating this since I was a kid and don’t really like the other brands.

- Salt and pepper, to taste, optional
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a bowl. Whisk until very well mixed and smooth.
- If needed, add sriracha, salt and pepper to taste.
- Use immediately, or store in an airtight container like this squeeze bottle in the refrigerator. Serve with salmon rice bowls, coconut shrimp, crispy Panko shrimp tacos.

Notes
- *¼ cup sriracha barely has any spice to it, in my opinion—so this is the safe one for those averse to spice. For me (a spicy lover), closer to ½ cup is tastier. Taste it as you whisk the ingredients together, adding as little or as much spice as you’d like.
- Storing instructions: Store homemade sriracha mayo in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-6 days.
