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 homemade French fry recipe. I love to use this spicy mayo for sushi and salmon sushi bowls as well. It tastes just like the restaurant version!

Ingredients for this Spicy Mayo

  • 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! Check out my homemade mayonnaise recipe!
  • 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 Oil: Toasted 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.

How to make Spicy Mayo

Tips for Success

  • Switch up the spice! Instead of Sriracha, you could try adding buffalo sauce, or your favorite hot sauce.
  • Like it spicier? Add in more Sriracha!
  • Less spicy? Reduce the amount of Sriracha added to this spicy mayo recipe, and increase the amount of mayonnaise if needed.
  • Try making your own mayo! It’s a lot easier than you’d think, and healthier too!
