Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- It’s perfectly spicy and easy to customize! Feel free to add as much or as little spice to this recipe as you’d like. This recipe starts conservatively on the spice, therefore allowing you to amp things up based on your preferences!

Key Ingredients
Mayonnaise – You can use whatever mayo you’d like for this recipe. Low-fat, vegan, avocado oil, really any kind will work! I’ve made this recipe using both regular mayonnaise and vegan mayonnaise, and had great results each time.
Sriracha – All of the spice in this recipe comes from the sriracha! However, you can add as much or as little sriracha as you’d like. This spicy mayo recipe calls for one tablespoon which yields a mild to medium spice. If you don’t have sriracha, you can use your favorite hot sauce instead. Though keep in mind that not all hot sauces are created equal and some are much spicier than others!
Lemon Juice – A squeeze of fresh lemon juice rounds out the flavors of this delicious condiment. While optional, I highly recommend you add some lemon juice for a tangy kick!
Chef’s Tips
- Make the recipe as instructed, then give things a taste and adjust the flavors as you see fit. The amounts in this recipe create a perfect baseline spicy mayo. Though if you prefer any more of one ingredient, go ahead and add it in!
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one month! Yes, this stuff lasts a long time. Therefore, making it a great addition to all of the other condiments in your fridge.
- For a more authentic spicy mayo, use Kewpie in this recipe! Kewpie is an Asian mayonnaise that’s made using rice vinegar instead of distilled vinegar. You can find Kewpie at most Asian grocery stores and even some other grocery stores in the ethnic food aisle!
