This Spicy Mayo recipe is so easy to execute and you will feel like a saucier after you have made your first sauce. This was my first sauce that I made at home and this is still my favourite! Now if you are ambitious, you can whip up some homemade mayonnaise as a base for this recipe. Even if you don’t, this homemade spicy aioli is better than any store-bought spicy aioli sauces I have ever had. Whenever I make this sauce, I make sure to add it to everything! You’ll get a couple of ideas later on in this post, so be sure to keep reading!

Is Spicy Mayo Spicy?

Well, yes it is spicy, or else it wouldn’t be called spicy mayo! However, I would not dismiss this sauce as just spicy. There are many more dimensions to this sauce. For example, it is a fairly creamy sauce from the mayo, especially if you’re using Japanese mayonnaise. The lemon or lime juice used also adds some tanginess to balance out the spiciness from the Sriracha sauce. Of course, you can always add more or less heat depending on your preferences. You can increase the Sriracha ratio or by adding smoked paprika, cayenne, chilli powder, or even a few dashes of your favourite hot sauce, if desired.

How to Use Homemade Spicy Mayo

Served with sushi: Try it out in sushi cones.
A drizzle over bowls: A must-have in my Poke Bowl! It would also be an excellent sauce for my Ultimate Beef Taco Bowl.
Taco topper: This would be great to accompany Restaurant-Style Baja Fish Tacos.
Sandwiches & wraps base: An essential spread for a Quick & Easy Grilled Chicken Sandwich. It would also be delicious in a Breakfast Bagel BELT, Baked Cheesy Deli Chicken Sandwich, or a Super Easy Open-Faced Tuna Salad Sandwich.
Burgers: While there are so many mayo variations, I always come back to this classic Spicy Mayo recipe to use as a base in my so many of my burgers. A couple of examples include my McDonald’s India Crispy Paneer Burger and my McAloo Tikki Burger, Zinger Chicken Burgers and my Dinner Roll Smash Burger Sliders.
For dipping: While I personally am not someone who likes to dip their fries in mayo, if you do like to do dip your fries in mayo, then go ahead and use this Spicy Mayo recipe as an incredible dip! Try out my Extremely Cheesy French Fries, Loaded Cheese & Bacon Air Fryer Fries, or Greek-Style Feta Fries. This Spicy Mayo is also a perfect dip for a variety of other snacks, including Chicken Tenders, Shrimp or Vegetable Tempura, Sausage Rolls, or Deep Fried Mozzarella Sticks.

How to Store Spicy Mayonnaise

Transfer the Spicy Mayonnaise in a mason jar or in an airtight container with a tightly fitted lid. To use the Spicy Mayo for drizzling on top of your dishes, then I recommend that you store the sauce in a squeeze bottle.The sauce has a shelf life of 6-10 days.
