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 think you’re going to have a lot of hits on your blog! I linked to this blog on the above-mentioned blog entry, which was picked up by Boston.com on their highlighted blog of the day!
I saw your recipe on Foodgawker last week and had to give it a try! Check out my results! http://funandfearlessinbeantown.blogspot.com/2009/06/all-i-wanted-to-do-was-try-out-sriracha.html
Yum! That looks like a great snack. The sriracha chatter has been at an all time high lately hasn’t it?
Just discovered your site and spent some good time reading through your recipes! Your photography is beautiful and I’m so jealous of your victory garden! It’s so hot and humid here in HI that all my herbs shriveled up! So sad..
I put Sriracha on everything: pizza, scrambled eggs, chili, fries…even tortilla chips. Thanks for this recipe – I will definitely give it a go. I’m thinking it could be fantastic on a burger…
That sauce sounds bomb! We could see that on a sandwich too–veggie or grilled salmon. Love it!
I would love your chocolate chunk banana bread recipe… the link to that recipe is broken… it certainly looks awesome and would love to try it with all these bananas I having sitting around… thanks
I made the sriracha from your site last week, adding some fresh mangoes I picked up from the tree across the street. It was awesome! I could not find thai chilis, so used a combo of red jalapenos, red serranos, and red habaneros. It was great. On Sunday, I made the pork burgers from Gourmet mag, and put my mango sriracha mayonnaise on them. You gotta try it. Probably be great with the french fries.
oh, yum!
Gorgeous picture! I’m a big fan of spicy mayo too. Sometimes I mix in chili garlic sauce…yum. I stock both the Huy Fong Sriracha and the Thai one, Sriracha Panich. Will try out this recipe soon!
Honey I’d send help but they would just end up joining the cult too! Listen I know you guys have WAY more things on your plate than you can handle but if you can I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it if you could enter something in an event I am hosting in June. I am on a misssion to unite the gluten-free food bloggers with the rest of the food bloggers! Check it out http://simplygluten-free.blogspot.com/2009/05/go-ahead-honey-its-gluten-free-june.html
Your presentation here is perfect!
Yes, please! These look dangerously good!
Great combo there, I’ve done something similar but with Jap Kewpi mayo instead though I think yours would pack a bit more flavour!
oh yeah, now we’re talking! fantastic looking creamy hot sauce, even for a complete hot sauce wimp like myself. Love the presentation too, with slices of chillis, and the lime leaves (if that is what they are)..
And.. whilst I am here.. Talk about some great looking fries. Great cut, color. everything. I am now hungry. And I don’t have any potatoes. Darn.
Last night I made one of my favorite dishes. Cut new red potatoes in half and steam them. When they are done, take them out of the pan and let some of the steam “melt away” so they are nice and dry, not like potatoes that have been boiled. Next, melt some butter in a pan until it is hot, but not burning. Cook the potatoes cut sides down for a few minutes in the hot melted butter until they are brown and crispy on the cut sides. (If the butter is hot enough when you add the potatoes, the potatoes won’t stick to the pan.) Add a little crunched Maldon Sea Salt, and roll the potatoes once in the butter. I think slathered in your mayo, they would be the bomb. I’m trying it next time for sure! Yum.
