Ingredients for Spicy Mayo

Brace yourself, this is a very complicated recipe!

Joking.

Kewpie (Japanese mayonnaise) — see below for packaging details!
Sriracha or other chili sauce

We love Kewpie mayo! It is both thicker and creamier than traditional American mayonnaise because it is made with egg yolks only (instead of whole eggs). Additionally, it is made with rice vinegar instead of distilled white vinegar, giving it a signature tang that is so delicious. Buy online or pick up at your local Asian market.

There is also an eggless version of Kewpie, which would make this spicy mayo vegan!

Sriracha, on the other hand, provides heat! It's a hot sauce made from a blend of chili peppers, distilled vinegar, garlic, sugar, and salt. You could substitute with other chili sauce or hot sauce, but we'd recommend something that has a little sugar in it for a touch of sweetness.

This spicy mayo recipe is gluten-free and dairy free!

How To Store Spicy Mayo

Spicy mayo will keep in an airtight sealed storage container in a refrigerator for up to 1 week.

What To Do With Spicy Mayo Other Than Sushi

This spicy mayo recipe certainly has a place in our hearts when paired alongside sushi or poké bowls, but have you ever enjoyed spicy mayonnaise on a sandwich? Game changer!

It doesn't even have to be Asian-inspired. There was a restaurant in New Canaan, CT that my family loved — they made a turkey sandwich on baguette with blackberry jam and sriracha mayo. Cannot recommend the sweet and spicy flavor enough.

Other ideas for using leftover spicy mayo:

spicy kani salad
on top of black bean burgers
as a sauce on mushroom tacos
on any and all sandwiches
french fries (omg, can you imagine?!)

If you dream it, you can top it with this spicy mayo recipe!

With a prep time of 2 minutes and only 2 simple ingredients, there is no reason not to have a batch of homemade spicy mayo in your fridge at all times!
