Sriracha mayonnaise is gonna shatter your previous notions of what a dipping sauce or sandwich spread or all-around condiment ought to be. Here’s how to make it and our suggested uses.
Sriracha mayonnaise. Yep. It tempers the heat of everyone’s preferred hot sauce by stirring it into creamy mayo. And you can make it as mild or as spunky as you like. Use it as a dipping sauce, a sandwich spread, or, heck, just an overall awesome condiment. The recipe can easily be scaled up or down, depending on how big a stash you feel you need in your fridge.

I add some lime juice to my sriracha mayo. It is fantastic on a burger! Among other things….
Niiiiiiiiiiice, Suzanne!
When we have perfect avocados we set up a California Roll temaki bar with sushi rice, nori squares, cucumber strips, surimi, daikon sprouts, and sriracha mayo! Sriracha mayo is also part of our bahn mi sandwich bar.
Niiiiiice, M. Ogoshi! I was thinking that this Sriracha mayo would be fantastic with some tempura shrimp rolls. Love that you use it with the richness of banh mi, too!
I first heard of this from Martha Stewart as a sauce for shrimp cocktail and it’s a nice change from the standard cocktail sauce.
Ah, lovely serving idea, Peg, thanks so much for sharing that with us!
