What is Sriracha Mayonnaise?

Sriracha mayonnaise, often called "sriracha mayo", is a simple yet flavourful condiment combining the creamy texture of mayonnaise with the spicy, tangy taste of sriracha chilli sauce. This combination creates a sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes, from sandwiches to sushi. The balance between the heat of the sriracha and the richness of the mayonnaise makes it a popular choice for those who enjoy a bit of spice in their food.

How to Make Sriracha Mayonnaise

Making sriracha mayo is very easy. To get started, you only need a few ingredients, and you can adjust the recipe to suit your taste. Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients

• 1 cup of mayonnaise
• 2–3 tablespoons of Exotic Food Thailand Sriracha Chilli Sauce
• 1 tablespoon of lime juice 
• A pinch of salt

• In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Sriracha Chilli Sauce. Start with 2 tablespoons of sriracha and add more if you want it spicier.
• Add the lime juice and a pinch of salt, then stir until everything is combined.
• Taste it and adjust if needed. If you like it hotter, add more Sriracha Chilli Sauce.
• Once it’s ready, put your sriracha mayo in a jar and keep it in the fridge for up to a week.

Cooking with Sriracha Mayonnaise

Now that your sriracha mayo is ready, let’s look at some easy ways to use it in your meals:

Sriracha Mayo Dip

A sriracha mayo dip is perfect for spicing up your snacks. Use it as a dip for vegetables like carrot sticks and cucumber, or with chips and seafood like prawns. You can even mix in some chopped herbs like cilantro or parsley for a fresher taste.

Sriracha Mayo Sandwich Spread

Turn a regular sandwich into a flavour-packed meal with sriracha mayo. It works great as a spread for chicken or turkey sandwiches, adding a delightful spicy taste. For vegetarians, try it with grilled veggies or cheese sandwiches to bring a new kind of flavour. 

Sriracha Mayo Burger Sauce

Burgers are always better with a good sauce, and sriracha mayo is a brilliant option. Whether it’s a beef, chicken, or veggie burger, a spoonful of sriracha mayo adds a spicy, creamy layer that ties all the flavours together. It’s also great for dipping your chips.

Sriracha Mayo Salad Dressing

If you’re looking to add a bit of spice to your salads, try using sriracha mayo as a dressing. It works particularly well with grilled chicken salads or seafood salads like crabstick salad. Mix it with a bit of vinegar or lime juice to thin it out, and drizzle it over your salad for a creamy, spicy finish. 

Sriracha Mayo Sushi

Sriracha mayo is a popular topping for sushi, especially for rolls like spicy tuna or salmon. You can also use it with vegetarian sushi rolls, like avocado or cucumber, for an extra kick. 

Sriracha Mayo Tacos

Tacos are another great dish to jazz up with sriracha mayo. It’s especially good with fish or shrimp tacos, giving a spicy, creamy contrast to the fresh, light taste of the seafood. You can also use it with beef or chicken tacos. The sriracha mayo helps to bring all the flavours in the taco together, making each bite delicious.

Sriracha Mayo Fries

Want to make your fries more exciting? Drizzle some sriracha mayo over them or use it as a dipping sauce. It’s a simple way to turn plain fries into something special. You can even make loaded fries by adding toppings like cheese, bacon, and green onions, then finishing with sriracha mayo.

Tips for Cooking with Sriracha Mayonnaise

Balancing Flavours and Adjusting Heat Level

When cooking with sriracha mayonnaise, start with a small amount and taste as you go, adding more sriracha if you want more heat. Remember, you can always add more, but you can’t take it away once it’s mixed.

Experimenting with Additional Ingredients

Don't be afraid to get creative with your sriracha mayonnaise. Adding ingredients like garlic, lime juice, or fresh herbs can improve the flavour and make it more unique. For instance, adding a bit of garlic can give it a more robust taste, while lime juice adds a fresh, tangy twist.

How to Store Sriracha Mayo

To keep your sriracha mayo fresh and tasty, store it in an airtight container in the fridge. It should stay good for about a week. It might not last as long if you’ve added fresh ingredients like garlic or herbs, so try to use it within a few days. Always give it a quick sniff or taste before using it to ensure it’s still fresh.
