Main Ingredients: The Foundation of Flavour

Here's the lowdown. we start with 1 cup (240ml) of good ol' mayonnaise. honestly, full-fat gives the best flavour, but low-fat works too if you're watching the waistline.

For flavour enhancers, sesame oil is your best friend. honestly, it's a game-changer. quick sub options? if you're out of rice vinegar, white wine vinegar does the trick!

Now, I remember trying to create a Korean bbq sauce once and completely forgot the sesame oil. The flavour was just…flat. Never again!

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is spicy mayo, and what makes your spicy mayo recipe so special?

Spicy mayo is essentially mayonnaise jazzed up with a spicy element, usually a chili sauce like Sriracha. What makes this recipe special is its balance of flavours – the creamy mayo, the fiery kick of Sriracha, the tang of rice vinegar, and a hint of umami from soy sauce and sesame oil. It's like a symphony in your mouth, innit?

Can I adjust the heat level of this spicy mayo recipe? I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to spice!

Absolutely! This spicy mayo recipe is completely customisable. Start with a smaller amount of Sriracha (even just a teaspoon) and taste as you go. Remember, you can always add more, but you can't take it away! If you accidentally go too hot, stir in a little extra mayonnaise to mellow it out – job's a good 'un.

How long does this spicy mayo last, and what's the best way to store it? I don't want it going off!

Your homemade spicy mayo will last for up to a week in the refrigerator, stored in an airtight container. Make sure the container is properly sealed to prevent it from drying out or absorbing odours from other foods in your fridge. Best practice is to give it a good stir before using it each time – just like stirring a good cuppa tea!

I'm vegan. Can I still make this spicy mayo recipe? What substitutions can I use?

You bet your boots you can! The key is to use a good-quality vegan mayonnaise. There are loads of great vegan mayo options available these days, made from everything from aquafaba to soy. Just swap out the regular mayo for your vegan alternative, and the rest of the recipe remains the same. Happy days!

What can I use spicy mayo on? Give me some ideas - I'm drawing a blank!

Where do we even start? Spicy mayo is ridiculously versatile! Think dipping sauce for chips or sweet potato fries, a topping for sushi or tacos, a spread for burgers or sandwiches. It's also fantastic with grilled fish, roasted vegetables, or even just a simple jacket potato. Get creative; it's like the ketchup of the 21st century, mate!

Can I make a big batch of this spicy mayo recipe ahead of time? Does it freeze well?

Yes, you can definitely make a larger batch of spicy mayo in advance! It's a great time-saver. However, I don't recommend freezing it. Mayonnaise tends to separate when thawed, resulting in a less-than-desirable texture. Best to whip up a fresh batch when you need it; it only takes 5 minutes anyway, so it's no sweat!
