Start by measuring out your ingredients: 1 cup of mayonnaise, 1/4 cup of sriracha, and the juice of 1 lime. Fresh lime juice is key, as it brightens and balances the flavors.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise first, followed by the sriracha and lime juice.
Using a whisk or spoon, mix the ingredients together until they are fully combined. The goal is to create a smooth and creamy consistency without any lumps.
Taste your mixture! If you want it spicier, add a bit more sriracha. If you prefer a tangier flavor, squeeze in a little more lime juice.
Once you’re satisfied with the flavor, transfer your Japanese Spicy Mayo to a sealed storage container. It’s best to let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
