Sriracha Mayo couldn’t be easier to make! Here I’ll show you the secret ingredient that takes this homemade dip to new heights.
Homemade Sriracha Mayo
I can’t remember where I was when I first had sriracha mayo, but it was love at first bite. So smooth and creamy, yet nice and tangy. Ugh. So good. Making your own truly couldn’t be easier. Here’s what you’ll need:
Sriracha Mayo Ingredients
- Mayo – Make sure you’re using full-fat mayo for a richer, fuller flavour.
- Sriracha – You’ll find this in most supermarkets, often in the Asian section.
- Garlic Powder – This adds another layer of flavour and pairs beautifully with the mayo and sriracha. You could sub 1 small clove of garlic and mince it.
- Lime Juice – Make sure it’s fresh lime juice, not the bottled stuff.
Yup, a good squeeze of lime juice makes so SO much difference. It just enhances that zingy taste and gives a fresh pop to the dip.
Recipe Tip #1
I recommend using Flying Goose Sriracha Hot Sauce for the best flavour. I’ve tried different brands of sriracha and Flying Goose always seems to come on top. Whatever you do, don’t sub for ‘chilli sauce’ or ‘hot sauce’ or anything similar.
Making Sriracha Mayo
As you can imagine, this is a very straightforward process. Just give it all a good mix and you’re done!
When it comes to how spicy this dip is, I actually like it on the creamier side of things. As such, I recommend starting with a ratio of 1 cup mayo : 2 tbsp Sriracha. A lot of similar recipes actually recommend a lot more sriracha, but personally I think slightly less allows you to appreciate the dip without having your socks blown off. However, do adjust accordingly.
When it comes to serving sriracha mayo, the usual thing would be to opt for a bowl or a small pot. But if you’re extra like me, just carve the centre out of a lime and pop it in there. Perfect in a Blooming Onion!
Recipe Tip #2
Making the dip ahead of time will let the flavours marry together. This will last, tightly stored in the fridge, for as long as the mayonnaise suggests (typically 3-5 days).
Serving Sriracha Mayo
This goes perfectly with so many foods, but here are some of my favourites:
- Slathered in a Breakfast Burger or Chicken Burger
- Used as a dip for Beer Battered Onion Rings, Potato Wedges, Dorito Chicken Tenders and Popcorn Chicken
- Drizzled in a Chicken Tender Sandwich
- Used as a sauce for Beef Tacos
It also works perfectly with sushi, loaded in wraps and drizzled over salads.
