Pro Tips for Sriracha Mayonnaise

Use convenient ingredients. Powdered garlic is perfectly acceptable, or you can choose to turn up the zestiness with freshly chopped garlic. Start with about half to one full clove of garlic, finely chopped, and adjust from there. I recommend fresh lemon or lime juice if available, but the bottled juice will also do the trick. 

Know your sriracha. Not all sriracha is created equal. While they all get their heat from red jalapenos, some brands are much spicier than others. Unless you are looking to turn up the heat, I recommend sticking with the milder and sweeter Westernized versions. Just know your brands and you’ll be fine.  

Try different hot sauces. If you don’t have any sriracha on hand, or simply don’t care for it, you can use this same basic recipe with other hot sauces. Your final product probably won’t have that signature hint of sweetness that comes with sriracha mayo sauce, but you’ll have a delicious spicy mayo all the same. 

Make it vegan. You can easily make this a vegan recipe by simply switching the mayonnaise for an egg free version. 

Adjust to taste. Following this sriracha mayo recipe will produce a spicy mayo with a somewhat subtle heat to it. Stick with the mild version or add an extra teaspoon or two for a fiery kick. Feel free to adjust the knobs either way. You can always add in a bit more mayo if you accidentally go overboard.
