This Spicy Sriracha Mayo is a perfect balance of spicy, tangy, creamy and sweet flavors, which makes it the perfect sauce for drizzling on top of a variety of Asian-inspired meals!
Sriracha sauce is an Asian hot sauce that is now commonly found in most American grocery stores. Sriracha is often combined with mayonnaise to make a sauce that is perfectly spicy and creamy and works equally well when squirted over sushi, rice bowls or banh mi sandwiches.
Some of my favorite dishes to serve Spicy Sriracha Mayo with are Deconstructed Sushi Bowls and Vietnamese Lemongrass Pork.
