Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise Try homemade garlic mayo for extra flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha Adjust to your spice tolerance.
For the Flavor Boost
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil Use light cooking oil if needed.
  • 1 pinch Garlic Powder Optional, can substitute with fresh garlic.
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juice Lemon juice can be a substitute.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a small mixing bowl, scoop out a generous portion of mayonnaise, roughly one cup as your base. Add two tablespoons of sriracha for that desired heat and sweetness. Next, drizzle in a teaspoon of sesame oil, followed by a pinch of garlic powder and a fresh squeeze of lime juice.
  2. Using a whisk, blend the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. This should take about 30 seconds to a minute.
  3. Give it a taste. If you prefer a spicier kick, add more sriracha, stirring well to incorporate. If it’s too spicy, balance it out with more mayonnaise or lime juice.
  4. Carefully transfer the spicy mayo into an airtight container. Seal it tightly to maintain freshness.
  5. When ready to use, take it out of the fridge, give it a good stir, and serve as a dipping sauce alongside sushi, drizzle it over poke bowls, or slather it on fries.
