Sriracha Mayo Recipe
The internet is all afire about Huy Fong’s Sriracha Hot Sauce lately and I’m still fired up (no, not from the consumption of the chili sauce), but from all the headlines on the internet. The New York Times calls it “A Chili Sauce to Crow About”, “The United States of Sriracha” and ” The All American Sauce” and has an open call for yet to be unidentified Sriracha sightings (USS). I simply called it – Cult Sriracha. All the spicy fuss has made Huy Fong’s Sriracha a cultural phenomenon and an American institution that can be found in dishes beyond your imagination. Almost every HF Sriracha junkie has a special dish they call their own. From Sriracha spiked hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, tacos and sushi to more elaborate inceptions by Jean-Georges Vongerichten, everyone finds sweet and spicy comfort in this bottle of red gold.

Spicy Creamy Sauce on Everything
Almost every HF Sriracha junkie has a special dish they call their own. From Sriracha spiked hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, tacos and sushi to more elaborate inceptions by Jean-Georges Vongerichten, everyone finds sweet and spicy comfort in this bottle of red gold. My food salvation and comfort is mixing my homemade Sriracha style hot sauce with some mayo. Beads of sweat start to roll down my forehead as I watch the spicy red gold swirl through the creamy layers of mayo, until it becomes a salmon colored bowl of treasure at the end of a rainbow. If there were any Leprechauns at the end of this chili rainbow ready to snag my spicy mayo, I’ll kick their little elfin asses. Oh, yes I would. Finally, the clencher is dipping the second love of my life, fried potatoes (Todd is my first love, of course), into the sauce and I am screaming for joy.
French fried potatoes dipped in creamy chili hot sauce is a manifestation of starch, fat, spice and richness. I think I’m in need of therapy. This Cult Sriracha, Cult Red Rooster thing has gotten the best of me. Call 911, send help.
But let me finish my plate of spicy, creamy comfort first.
Thank you,
Diane

I love me some rooster sauce!
I loves me some sriracha. I’m trying to figure out how to use up the rest of my big bottle in the fridge before I move – I just can’t bear throwing it out. I believe this recipe will def be on the list.
I’m the only one that does not have any sriracha in my home. One more item to the list. Those fries are a killer. I usually eat them with a cilantro-mayo. Have to try your dip. Cheers 🙂
Here here. Let’s take the bickering down a notch (cough, cough) and enjoy your delicious mayo sriracha combo! Who needs salsa golf (no offense, Matt) when you’ve got this stuff. I like that you added lime and soy. Great call. You’re my heroine, Diane. Always.
OMG. I am so with you on fried potatoes being my “second love” right behind my husband. Chocolate takes a close third, but the fries win out, especially when pared with any kind of mayo.
Been thinking about buying a deep fryer and this post is not helping me resist…
I so feel your hot sauce mustache pain! I did the same thing a couple months back while eating a favorite street vendor’s spicy sauce… only I had horrible lip blisters for weeks. The picture is too delicious looking for words! Can’t wait to try the recipe… and yummy… fries… need I say more?!
We do almost exactly the same thing for fries and sushi dipping sauce. We add a little chili powder to it also. I never thought something would compete with wasabi in my heart for a sushi dipping sauce but I do love the stuff. We also eat it in Pho. I can’t handle the ratio you’re using tho! I would put more like a teaspoon to 3 T. mayo! You’re a much braver soul!
my condiment of preference has been mayo mixed with thai curry paste (especially with baked, sweet potato ‘fries’). but, i’ll have to give the sriracha version a go sometime.
Heer in Belgium every village, town and city have atleast 2 french fry selling shops caleed Friet winkle and for the last few years they have been selling a spicy mayo called samurai and i love them, this looks like that so now i can make them home too.
Yes, I’m a member of the cult! One of my favorite ways to use it is in Spicy Mexican slaw where the dressing is a mixture of mayo, Sriracha, and lime juice.
Your spicy mayo is a kicked-up version of Utah “fry sauce” which is served at fast food restaurants here, usually a mixture of ketchup and mayo with some kind of seasoning such as dill pickle juice, a dash of barbecue sauce, or garlic. When we had the Olympics here, there were even collectible fry sauce pins!
I just recently read one of those Sriracha articles too! It seems a bit sudden to have this much publicity about them these days. Those fries look exceedingly delicious- such nice browning. And I like how you garnished the sriracha mayo too.
I suppose I’m one of the elfin asses at the end of that rainbow fighting you for the sriracha and fried potatoes 🙂 Looks absolutely yummy– I am there! (Leprechauns can teleport, right?)
I have been glued to the wars also. I like sriracha on almost everything. Especially mixed in with tuna for great sandwiches.
Ooooh, those fries look like heaven! I’m a sucker for sriracha sauce too, except I buy mine in a plastic bottle with a rooster on it. Never thought to mix it with mayo, though. Brilliant!
If Sriracha’s a cult, we’ll gladly join and follow your lead!!! Beautiful and sounds delicious! Wonder what else can dipped in that? Maybe our left over nem nuong cuon? 🙂
Just today, I was having a long conversation with my neighbor about sriracha and why it’s so good, so versatile and we should mix it with mayo and make fish tacos. He had never heard of it. Telepathy in the food world……LOVE LOVE those FRIES!
